[QUOTE="Roman Collector, post: 7773858, member: 75937"]Hints on a couple others: #1 reads AVT K OΠEΛΛIOC CEVH MAKPEINOC on the obverse and VΠ ΠONTIANOV MAPKIANOΠOΛITΩN on the reverse. #2's inscription on the obverse reads counter-clockwise. From 5:00 to 2:00 it reads ΚΛΑVΔΙΟΣ. The reverse reads EΠΙ ΜEΛΙΤΩΝΟϹ ΑϹΚΛΗΠΙΑΔΟΥ (name of the magistrate) ΚΑΔΟΗΝΩΝ (name of the city). #4 reads VT K M AVP CЄVH AΛЄΞANΔPOC on the obverse and features Apollo with patera and branch.
