Hello,

I've had a look on some databases, but to no avail. Just wondering if anyone recognizes the figures on the coins. They're from Pompeii.

Sadly they all appear to be tourist copies of Greek coins.

I am sorry to say that agree with echizento.

If you are looking for genuine ancients try vcoins:)

Sadly, I agree. If you bought them from a tourist booth in Pompeii, they are replicas made for the tourists. Selling genuine ancient coins to tourists is illegal in Italy.
