Hello, I purchase a big lot of ancient coins some months ago and now I'm trying to identify them, any help is much welcome. Coin 1. I think comes from Parion in Mysia but I'm not 100% sure. Metal: Bronze, Weight: 2.2 gr, Diameter: 15mm   Coin 2. I believe is Greek but there is a chance to be a Roman. Metal: Bronze, Weight: 2.4 gr, Diameter: 16mm   Thank you so much! |

Your second coin is a Roman provincial with Telephoros on the reverse (kids of Ascelepius). I'm not sure who is on the obverse or where it is from? Maybe Thrace or Moiesa Inferior? Something like this coin... https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=2934220 |

The reverse on number 3 may be a griffin. Maybe from Phokaia?

#7 is pretty well gone - much wear. Based on the depiction of the kantharos, I suspect Thrace, maybe Alopeconnesus (Alopekonnesos/Alopeconnesos).
