Hi guys-

I need some ID help on two Bosporos coins I got in a Roman lot. YES, I realize I am breaking the rules by a two-coin question but, they a from the same place and- please forgive me. Both are Greek to me.

The largest measures 24mm and weighs 9.2 grams. The smallest measures 20 x 22mm and weighs 6.3 grams. Thank you, Greek guys, for your help-

Thanks Guys-

I am assuming that the complete inscription on the smaller coin on the right is BACILEWC CAYPOMATOY.

I could not find an exact match, so I am assuming that because of its size, weight, and the MH in wreath on the reverse (value), it is a Sauromates III or? The coins of Sauromates II with the same value seem to be larger and heavier.
