    A friend of mine needs help in ID'ing these bronzes. I don't have weights nor dimensions, tho I could request those. He's a collector in Warsaw, Poland.

    Greek bronze:

    Roman Colonial, so I'm told:

    TIAN #1:

    TIAN #2:

    TIAN #3:

    At least we have good images even if the latter 2 coins aren't highly detailed. Any help would be appreciated.

    Rather than TIAN, I believe the inscription on the last 3 is ΠΑΝ for Pantikapaion a Greek city on Ukraine's Crimea peninsula, not terribly far from Poland.

    Agree. Similar to these in my collection:

    Thanks very much. I'll report these to my friend in Poland. The 1st bronze appears to be closest to WildWinds SNG ANS 530cf.

    Neapolis, Campania, AE19, 250-225 BC. Laureate head of Apollo left within laureate wreath / NEOΠOΛITΩN beneath lyre between caduceus to left and omphalos to right. (pedum beneath the legend?). Mionnet I, 225; type of SNG ANS 530.

    There are other varieties which have the tripod between the vertical lines of lettering but those have a male head obv.
