Dear FVRIVS RVFVS,
Thank you! I'll allready got those Tarsos data and they seems fit one is indeed Lev 1067 without goubernator at stern and other one BMC 199 with "A MK" at prow.
As I assumed those are indeed rare ones and you don't expect them to appear - frankly saying - nowhere on edge of Ancient world...

The coin you have identified as Marcus AE33 is without question also Caracalla. Many of the coins of Caracalla have the unmistakably menacing face of the vicious emperor. Marcus has a rule has a very benign friendly appearance although it is sometimes shown with a very wide eyed (almost surprised) look.

This was first one we received, and frankly saying I hasted bit with attribution because ordinary coins of Marcus Aurelius are those we find here. In small amounts.
But revers I got right I presume (instead CAG...> CAL...)?
LAKEDAIMWN CALAGACCEWN,, Lakedaemon, helmeted, standing left,looking left, holding spear, being crowned by Tyche standing left behind him, holding cornucopiae
I don't think this type of Sagalassus,Pisidia AE has been listed by any catalogue?

Again I must confess my ignorance about these types. I have forwarded the picture to my older and much wiser brother (Marcus Oblivivs Rvfvs). Holiday weekend so a response might be delayed.

Here we are with some more new cleaned coins. First one is seems to be Caracalla with reverse giving its struck place as Sparta (earlier I assumed it is Marcus Aurelius struck)? In this case never attributed under any catalogue I suppose. AVT K M AVR ANTWNINOC, laureate, draped bust right. LAKEDAIMWN CALAGACCEWN, Lakedaemon, helmeted, standing left, looking left, holding spear, being crowned by Tyche standing left behind him, holding cornucopiae.   |

This one is very nice Tarsos struck Caracalla, with Homonoia - I presume - on reverse. It is very facinating to imagin how those quite rare AE coins finally ended in far corner of Europe...   |

You not sure abt what? That it is Tarsos struck? Or Caracalla? Or that it is Homonoia? Sure it can depict some other deity, but with pictured like this it is ordinary that goddess... Text is not very clear above of course...
