MetzKaj Valued Member Netherlands 145 Posts	Posted 01/14/2019 05:28 am I'm no expert, but based on the heads on the first coin I would say (?): CAIUS CAESAR, adopted son and intended heir of Augustus, son of Agrippa and Julia "CHOICE RARE PORTRAIT BRONZE OF GAIUS (CAIUS) CAESAR. MACEDON, Thessalonic. Augustus, with Caius Caesar. 27 BC-AD 14. AE 20mm (8.07 g). Struck circa AD 1-4. (TH)ESSALONIKEWN; Laureate head of Augustus right / GAIOS SEBASTOU YIOS; Bare head of Caius Caesar right. RPC 1564; Touratsoglou Em. X, - (V47/R132). EF and one of the finest known examples. Gaius or Caius Caesar was the son of Agrippa, and grandson of Augustus. Choice portrait of a rarely seen Roman caesar." Anyone? Second one: No idea. Report this Post to the Staff
HermesTris New Member Israel 18 Posts	Posted 01/14/2019 08:01 am The coin is definitely in a BC date.. arround 20 ~ 30 BC MetzKaj.. that was so close dear.. can anybody instruct me how to clean the other rusty side, to make a visible clear face. I think this coin is really RARE one Report this Post to the Staff
Kamnaskires Pillar of the Community United States 7066 Posts	Posted 01/14/2019 08:55 am I believe I can see "PAI" on the reverse of coin one, and perhaps even "PAI BO" - so maybe "TPAI BOC" of an issue of Marcus Aurelius from Bostra (Syria) with a Tyche reverse? http://coinproject.com/coin_detail.php?coin=312443 http://www.coinproject.com/siteimag...89-25316.jpg http://www.coinproject.com/coin_det...?coin=122407 http://www.coinproject.com/siteimag...13610q00.jpg Report this Post to the Staff
Ben Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 4208 Posts	Posted 01/14/2019 10:00 am I agree with Bob, a coin from Bosra. The town was the capital of Ancient Arabia and suffered little damage in the recent civil war; it has one of the largest theatres of the old Roman Empire. The theatre suffered one direct hit by a rebel shell that struck the steps. For cleaning, the best option is to put it in olive oil and give it a brush with an old toothbrush ever week or so until it's clean. Report this Post to the Staff
HermesTris New Member Israel 18 Posts	Posted 01/14/2019 10:54 am Thank you so much Bob. that was the best answer. Thank you Ben for the advice i'll try it. This thing is maybe relative to #2 coin, is it an earring or something or a coin ?! same drawings seems to me Report this Post to the Staff

I suspect it's a coin. It may be too far gone to i.d. - I think the reverse (?) is hopeless. But the obverse (?) reminds me of a bird - perhaps a dove - in flight. Maybe an AE from Sikyon/Sicyon like those below? (Although with no interior monogram near the tail feathers) I don't know if the find spot makes that particular possibility unlikely.
