echizento Moderator United States 23731 Posts	Posted 12/29/2014 12:23 pm No idea what #1 is, might be medieval does't look Roman based on the style of the legend. #2 is Byzantine and appears to be a Class A1 Anonymous folles attributed to John I. #3 looks like Arcadius, but the coin need cleaning to make out anything more. #4 has been Ided already, and #5 is Constantinople commemorative VRBS ROMA. Commemorating 1000 years of Rome. Report this Post to the Staff

Coin one is certainly not a regular Roman issue but it could be a provincial issue or it could be later as 'echizento' said. Not clear enough (for me) to make out enough of the legend to make any further comment. Report this Post to the Staff
