Hello all,

I bought these coins a few years ago and can't remember which reigns they come from. Can anyone help?

[removed old photobucket link]

Think one may be Valens and another Julian II but don't know which is which.

Can anyone help?

regards

The middle one is definitely Valens.
If possible, could you get individual pictures of the other two?
It would make identification a lot easier.

The the forum, If you could take a picture of each coin both obverse and reverse, we would be able to give you a better answer. #3 looks like Constantine II as Caesar, #1 looks like Claudius II, but would need to see the rest of the coin.

Thanks for the welcome. Here are the coins.
I think this one may be Julian II?:

Can-Anyone-Identify-These-3-Roman-Coins?-Id:-Julian-II-And-Claudius-II

Can-Anyone-Identify-These-3-Roman-Coins?-Id:-Julian-II-And-Claudius-II

I'm really not so sure about this one though. Constantine II does ring some bells though:

Can-Anyone-Identify-These-3-Roman-Coins?-Id:-Julian-II-And-Claudius-II

Can-Anyone-Identify-These-3-Roman-Coins?-Id:-Julian-II-And-Claudius-II

Hope these pictures are better.

I think you are correct that it is Julian II, I can just make out DN IV, and the reverse matches one that was used. Emperor standing left holding globe and spear.

I'm still going with Claudius II and the second one. Try soaking them in olive oil for a month or so it should be able to remove some of the dirt and you would see more detail.

Thanks for your help and advice on cleaning.
I didn't know about cleaning them in olive oil but will give it a go.
