    Male looks like Caracalla. Reverse figures look like caracalla Hygieia and Asklepios with Telesphoros between.

    Male might read in Greek Agrippa. Double Pi.

    Male coin on left obverse reads NINOC to right of bust. This is the end of ANTO-NINOC so most likely Caracalla. I don't see a double pi.

    Nice history, Zenobia was also involved:

    According to Strabo the city was known also as "Eusebeia at the Taurus". Under Roman EmperorCaracalla, the city became Antoniana colonia Tyana. After having sided with Queen Zenobia of Palmyra, it was captured by Aurelianin 272, who would not allow his soldiers to sack it, allegedly becauseApollonius appeared to him, pleading for its safety.
