    I bought this bag of Roman coins at a flea market for 74 dollars for 10 coins. I was wondering if anyone could help ID them. Thanks. DSC08838.JPG DSC08839.JPG DSC08840.JPG DSC08841.JPG DSC08842.JPG DSC08843.JPG DSC08844.JPG DSC08845.JPG DSC08846.JPG DSC08847.JPG

    All of these coins are late Roman bronzes except for the 2d coin top right, which appears to be Greek. Too difficult to ID with the blurry images though... the condition also doesn't help. For $74, you could instead have gotten two or three decent quality coins or a nice 2d century denarius, IMO.

    Are the two small ones Quadrants?

    Most of them are nummi, or AE3s. The small ones are AE4s. Others may have more updated nomenclature; I still remember LRBs based on size.

    Honestly, you should take better pics of your coins. The photos should be focused, and you should assemble for each one the obverse with its reverse before posting here. A well-photographed ancient coin, even one picked at random out of the junk box, can look like a jewel.

    OK here are some of them photographed like you said. I believe this one to be Constantinople city commemorative 330 AD

    DSC08865.JPG DSC08866.JPG This one I think is a Greek Phrygia Apameia with Athena helmeted on the obverse and maybe Athena on the reverse?

    This one is I think Constantius ll. I can not find the exact reverse though.

    Another Constantius ll, I can not seem to find a reverse that is similar.
