Not received these yet, having trouble IDing them: 1 Not sure on the portrait, and WHAT is going on on the rev?   2 Thought this might be Caracalla or Geta, but can't trace the reverse   3 Bought for my first grapes! Does this look like Septimius Severus to you?   |

Number 2 does look like Caracalla or Geta, but number three looks more like antonius pius to me.
EDIT: I will look around and see what I can find.

I agree with Dwayne. I think #1 might be Geta.

The first reverse is Artemis I think. The second reverse looks like an arrow. Have looked for arrow and thunderbolt on WW, acsearch, coinproject for Caracalla, Geta, Elagabalus, Diadumenian. No luck. Might not be an arrow (which would explain a lot).

I've looked around and found nothing, I think TIF would have better luck.

At work, no time to hunt. Maybe tomorrow if no one else has nailed them I'll give it a shot.
