[QUOTE="John Anthony, post: 1837708, member: 42773"]Eh, I don't know why people think I'm some sort of expert at attribution. Unfortunately, I only have a few minutes to post tonight. Group One clockwise from the top left looks like a New Style Tet, but the color is weird. It should be silver. Maybe it's the scan, or it has a lot of corrosion, or maybe it's a base metal copy. Next looks like an Anonymous Byzantine Follis. Obverse would be nimbate bust of Christ facing, holding book of the Gospels, reverse legend IhSVS / KRISTUS / BASILEU / BASILE or JESUS CHRIST KING OF KINGS. Third is a bronze of Lucilla which you can clearly read on the obverse legend. Fourth looks like the portrait of Antoninus Pius or maybe even Commodus, but I can't check in and verify any of that till tomorrow. Peace out, for the night - John.[/QUOTE]
