Help with these two ancients, please!

For all the ancient experts out there ... Info, please!
I bought these two copper coins (one is Roman obviously) and the other is probably Greek.
I'd like to know who is the emperor on the roman coin and the date origin/date of the other one
I paid $20 for both (Not a bad deal I hope)
Many thanks,
Monetarium

Now I see that the emperor might be Gallienus?

 

Looks similar to this one on wildwinds

RIC179k
Gallienus AE Antoninianus. AD 267-268. GALLIENVS AVG, radiate head right / DIANAE CONS AVG, antelope walking left, XII in ex. Cohen 160.


I cant make out what the lettering is under the antelope. That will determine the mint. If different then the RIC and Cohen #s will be different too.

Thanks, Richard!

 

Gallienus
AE antoninianus

DIANAE CONS AVG

I can't tell precisely what the second one is, beyond that the obverse is a bust of Tyche. Perhaps its similar to this one from my collection.



Aradus, Phoenicia

Thank you!!!

 

I am probably looking at it wrong but I dont see a bust of anything on that!!

 

On the smaller of monetarium's bronzes?

 

glad Im not the only one, yeah i dont see it either, Looks like upside down Eeor to me

 

Does this help?

 

I'd never imagined that that was a bust! I thought it was maybe a bee or another kind of insect What a big crown!
