I am stumped on all of them. The second coin has a look of Ares about him, but I couldn't find anything.

Well I must confess that I am pleasantly shocked at the attribution of coin 1, Bob L your a star.
I was convinced it was the Roman I suggested, completely stunned at your find
Athalbert, there is no way I would have found that coin in a million years
Many thx to both of you

Tenbobbit...
I´m Spaniard, but not only spaniard...
I was born in modern Cadiz, the city that is built over the roman and Phoenician city...

...and of course I have a lot of coins from Gades...
...and I have seen hundreds of coins from gades.
