Does anybody have any ideas on these? I have started collecting roman, and although these aren't... They peaked my interest. At a guess I'd say the horse is maby Greek, but I literally know nothing on the subject. The other I assume is much later. Any general help would be great. Many thanks

The horse is from Kyme (in Aeolis). The other side is a "one-handled cup" - to its left is a monogram or symbol which will help you find a reference ID. This city has a wildwinds page, so maybe start there.

The other coin is a byzantine trachy - a 'cup coin'. I wont pretend to know anything about them, hopefully someone better versed will be able to narrow down the emperor.

The Byzantine coin appears to be Manuel I 1143-1180, your coin is interesting because it appears that the obverse the second picture is double struck with the reverse.

To me, the Byzantine coin appears to be Alexius III, Sear 2012, though one can never be 100% with these trachy coins unless they are incredibly well-struck.
