<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Marsyas Mike, post: 3828591, member: 85693&quot;]Some inexpert guesses here, but I&#039;ll give it a try:</p><p><br /></p><p>The first one is Provincial, Severus Alexander I think, judging by what&#039;s left of the obverse inscription.&nbsp; Tyche (?) sitting on a rock (?) reverse - there are many on CT who could tell you right off the bat exactly where it is from.</p><p><br /></p><p>Second one is Alexander the Great (or a successor) AE with club and bow case reverse, Hercules on the obverse.&nbsp; There are many variations of this - yours has an unusual marking above the club that should narrow down attribution with some work.</p><p><br /></p><p>RC already nailed the Domitian.&nbsp; Good job, RC!</p><p><br /></p><p>That last one might be Phoenicia.&nbsp; This is an extensive series, Tyche/Astarte (or Nike?) on a galley, so to attribute it correctly will take some work. </p><p><br /></p><p>This site is great:&nbsp; <a href="https://phoeniciancoins.wordpress.com/arados-hellenistic-bronze-by-series-era-date/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://phoeniciancoins.wordpress.com/arados-hellenistic-bronze-by-series-era-date/" rel="nofollow">https://phoeniciancoins.wordpress.com/arados-hellenistic-bronze-by-series-era-date/</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Here is a similar one from Vcoins, not an exact match:</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.vcoins.com/en/stores/marc_breitsprecher_classical_numismatist/8/product/phoenicia__sidon_19822__astarte_on_prow/574004/Default.aspx" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.vcoins.com/en/stores/marc_breitsprecher_classical_numismatist/8/product/phoenicia__sidon_19822__astarte_on_prow/574004/Default.aspx" rel="nofollow">https://www.vcoins.com/en/stores/marc_breitsprecher_classical_numismatist/8/product/phoenicia__sidon_19822__astarte_on_prow/574004/Default.aspx</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Of particular interest to me is that it appears to have been countermarked on the obverse.&nbsp; I found something similar (again, not a match) here:</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.vcoins.com/en/stores/sphinx_numismatics/151/product/703fg8_berytus_phoenicia_first_cent_bc_ae_20_mm_55_grms_head_of_tyche_right_countermarked_with_bucranium__dolphin_between_caps_of_the_dioscouri_bmc_13v_sng_cop84_fine/263683/Default.aspx" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.vcoins.com/en/stores/sphinx_numismatics/151/product/703fg8_berytus_phoenicia_first_cent_bc_ae_20_mm_55_grms_head_of_tyche_right_countermarked_with_bucranium__dolphin_between_caps_of_the_dioscouri_bmc_13v_sng_cop84_fine/263683/Default.aspx" rel="nofollow">https://www.vcoins.com/en/stores/sphinx_numismatics/151/product/703fg8_berytus_phoenicia_first_cent_bc_ae_20_mm_55_grms_head_of_tyche_right_countermarked_with_bucranium__dolphin_between_caps_of_the_dioscouri_bmc_13v_sng_cop84_fine/263683/Default.aspx</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Interesting batch of coins.&nbsp; They look like fun to me.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
