If you post one or two pictures at a time in this post we will be able to ID better for you. One of the of coin one with the two lions is a Roman Provincial of the emperor Gordian III from the province of Moesia Viminacium. Here is a reference that will help you ID which one it is. http://www.wildwinds.com/coins/gree...acium/i.html There is a Sticky section here titled Books, Downloads and website that has reference material that you can download along with tons of other information on ancient coin. Check it out. Report this Post to the Staff

The one to the right of that is a Campgate, Possibly Constantine the Great. Second Row: Second coin from left might be ~~Licinius.~~ Edited by Ploopy 10/01/2015 6:09 pm Report this Post to the Staff

lrbguy Pillar of the Community United States 949 Posts	Posted 10/01/2015 4:45 pm Will check the references to be sure, but at sight these are what I think I see: top row (l-r) Constantine I - SOLI INVICTO COMITI - M F in fields L and R - in ex: ARL? (Arelate) Urbs Roma - wolf and twins; in ex: TRP<dot> (Treveri) Constantine I - PROVIDENTIAE AVGG -- in ex: SM? (Cyzicus? Heraclea?) or SA<arch>RL (Arelate officina S) ? - GLORIA EXERCITVS (one standard) - in ex: ?SIS<dot or star> (Siscia, officina A) Constantius II - PROVIDENTIAE CAESS - MNA (Nicomedia) 2nd row (l-r) CLAVDIVS CAESAR AVG ? - Minerva (?) stg r holding shield between S C Constantine I - IOVI CONSERVATORI AVGG (facing L holding victory above eagle) - SIS (Siscia); (A?) in rt field Constans -A behind bust - FEL TEMP REPARATIO (victory barque) - ASIS<dot> (Siscia, officina A); A in left field Gordian III? - xxxxx GORDIANVS PIVS FEL AVG - Julian II - "Apis bull" - CONSPB (Constantinople officina B) On a blowup the green on the Julian piece looks like it might be verdigris, not bronze disease. If it is soft and flaky it is BD, if hard and glossy it is verdigris. BD can spread to other coins, but verdigris will not. I will try to refine this time permitting. The autocorrect is interfering with the use of multiple marks and spaces. Edited by lrbguy 10/01/2015 5:34 pm Report this Post to the Staff
