First Coins of the Year

The first couple of coins were struck at Berytus under Trajan and Gordian III weighing 20.77 g. and 12.22 g. respectively. They both have a temple on reverse. The third coin has a fish between 2 dolphins on reverse. It weighs 9.67 g. I'm not sure I can identify the Emperor on the obverse. Thanks for your comments.

Post a larger photo of the obverse of the one with the two dolphins (a tripod with delphinoform legs?) and I'll see if I can read the inscription.

 

3rd one might be Caracalla or Elagabalus...

 

Here's a bigger shot, but not at day light. It reads IMPCAESP.........

 

I'll bet the third one is from Tyre in Phoenicia because it is in the Latin language and its reverse likely ends in "METRO."
