These first two coins are Faustina Sr. and that's all I know. Does anyone have any links to all the details on each specific coin? There are so many different varieties online and I am not sure which exact ones they are! First coin weighs 24.8g and 29mm diameter. Second coin is 22.6g and 18mm diameter.

Finally is a Roman Republic denarius. Again any links and what date this might be? Thanks so much!

The Republican denarius has the distinctive reverse of Marsyas shouldering a wineskin. It is Marcia 24 from about 82BC. Laureate head of Apollo on obv.



The first coin is not of Faustina Sr. but is a Sestertius of Faustina Jr. with the characteristic low bun on the back of her neck and the FAUSTINA AVGVSTA inscription. Can't make out enough detail for the reverse.

All the same may be said for the second bronze coin, except that the hair arrangement is earlier.
