I bought two lots of 5 ancient greek coins and most I can not identify.
I do know the coin with Homer and Apollo playing the lyre.
Any help with the others would be very much appreciated.

Thanks

You can always try acsearch. For example, you probably know AE means bronze so you type in the search box "ae forepart of horse apollo" and one of yours is the second coin in the list from Kolophon.

Then try "ae club wreath apollo" and you get another.

Kind of fun....

Ok only 2 left I need to ID.
First, the coin with head of Athena right and what I believe is victory on the reverse. 1st pic bottom left.


Second, the coin in the second pic bottom left with the standing, facing figure on the reverse.

.

Hard to tell with such a small pic, but perhaps an issue from Pamphylia. See: https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=3206353

That standing figure is a cult statue of Artemis. See:

Seriously old coin, that last one.
