Hello from a newbie to the forum. Can anyone identify these ancient coins? I'm stumped. Thanks

First one looks like a Sestertius of Antoninus Pius - Second is impossible to ID - Third appears to be Carthaginian .... is it silver ?

That third coin on the right looks very interesting.

I agree it does appear to be Carthaginian. The portrait looks like a billon issue.

Will look into it further.

I mean to say the second is a Sestertius which would seem to be second century by the reverse. But the front is quite impossible to ID.

Looking closer the Carthaginian coin looks to have 'flat' edges. Usually means it is NG. Could have been filed though and set in a necklace or something. Low grade
