[QUOTE="Gao, post: 1074930, member: 19409"]Can you provide diameters, preferably in millimeters? It would make it a bit easier to identify these. In any case, I think the second coin is a provincial of Julia Domna. The reverse depicts the goddess Nike. The reverse has the name of the town, and I'm pretty sure I can make out "...TOBE...," so it's probably from Stobi The fourth is another provincial, and it's definitely Severus Alexander. This one is from Markianopolis. Going by what's on Wildwinds, if this thing is about 25mm wide, then I think it's Moushmov 701, which is described on Wildwinds as "Severus Alexander AE25 of Markianopolis. Legate Umbrius Tereventinus. AVT K M AVP CEVH ALEXANDPOC, laureate, draped and cuirassed bust right / HG 8M TEPEBENTINOV MAPKIANOPOLIT, Dikaiosyne/Aequitas standing left holding scales and cornucopiae." The last one is Caracalla, and I think it's from Serdica, as I think the reverse reads "OVΛΠIAC CEPΔIKIC," though I'm having some trouble making much out of the right half of that on your coin.[/QUOTE]
