Hello, I recently acquired the two following ancient coins and am in no way an expert on ancient coins, I have included both an obverse and reverse photo of each. Any information you can give me would be appreciated whether they are real or fakes :) I was told one is from Lucania?

The first coin does appear to be Greek, but Greek coins are not my area so I can't help with an ID. The second appears to be ancient Roman, I believe it might be Faustina II but based on what details remain it's just a guess.

I agree. I've had a few Faustina II coins and the portrait is consistent. Not sure which goddess is on the reverse.
