It looks like a septimius severus with a basket reverse.

Definitely Nicopolis. the ICT at the end of the reverse legend is clear as well as the NIKO at the start.

I agree it's Septimius Severus. The reverse looks like a basket of fruit.

The Greek provincial coins have interesting reverses, quite unlike those from other European mints.

Roman Greek Provincial coins are an area of collecting I have yet to touch upon. I almost bought one once, but the seller wouldn't budge on his price. They have some of the best-looking busts I've seen on Roman coins. Nice coin ioan.

Nice grouping of AR coins. Some of them are beyond my current budget.

Are denarii (and Roman coins in general) cheaper in Europe, since they are found and dug up over there? I have a feeling they are.

Nice denarii. Too bad about the fakes. I thought only those of us in the West were being sold fakes. The bottom right hand coin of Nero I believe to be an As, looks pretty good for a fake. It looks like it even has a countermark on the neck. Can you post a larger image of that one in particular.
You live in a prime area for Roman history buffs and collectors. There must literally be thousands of dig sites. I would love to metal detect in that area. I've traveled to Romania on business several times mostly working at Petesti and on the other side of Romania at Oradea. As most tourist, I love Transylvania.
Regards,
Editorial note: I forgot to mention I love Polinka too

There are a lot of fakes coming out of Eastern Europe when it comes to ancient coins. Most of the fake US and Europian coins are coming from China.
