I am new to ancient coins and find it very interesting. Most of the coins I have can be identified but I have two that have me stumped. Can someone help?

They are both, I believe, Roman Provincial bronzes, from Nicopolis ad Istrum, in modern Bulgaria. Coin number 1 is something like this one only smaller; definitely looks like Emperor Caracalla. Coin number 2 is something like this one; it's so worn and fuzzy it's hard to tell the emperor, but by the beard I'd guess Septimus Severus.

Thanks for the help! I thought coin 1 looks like Caracalla as well but much younger. My coin looks like a thin boy with curly hair and no ornamental crown or headress. Could this be a young Caracalla?
