Micha,
I'm a bit tied up right now. For number one, I recommend you search at acsearch.info on "AE Macedonian helmet" and scan through the results. (The reverse of your coin is the helmet)

For five check Luceria. Obverse is likely Athena. Wheel with eight spokes for the reverse.

# 3 shows a ram's head reverse. May well be from Kebren, although there are other possibilities. Apollo obverse?

Regarding the coin with the horse (#6), I know that the immediate assumption some people would make is "Macedonian" and perhaps they'd go further, to suggest Alexander III.
Based on the obverse hairstyle, I'd say that if the coin is Macedonian, it might be Alexander II, not III.
However, I think it's more likely an Apollo/horse combo from Gargara, Troas. The lettering above the horse, which is - unfortunately - cropped, could be the bottom of a large "A" near to the horse - from, perhaps ΓΑΡ. (The legends on coins of the Macedonian kings tend to sit higher up)
The Kebren and Pisidia coins need conservation. Looks like they may have bronze disease.

You're right, that does appear to be a "Y". That's a tough one. Kyme, Aeolis issued horse reverses with "KY" above - but I believe the issues with galloping horses showed only the forepart of the horse - and the obverse here wouldn't match anyway. Thourioi, Lucania issued galloping horses with "Y's" above, but the letters before that were "ΘO" - so no match there. Tough one. Perhaps a Gargara issue with a poor transcription, where the "P" was mistakenly transcribed as a "Y"? Perhaps that's a stretch and there's a simpler explanation.  |

About Kyme the size is not correct, they have some coins with the Amazon Kyme right and horse galloping right, looks similar but the size is near 20mm, also within the legs of the horse there are letters and symbols at Kyme and this one is crystal clear. Gargara makes sense not only about the horse galloping but also for the size and Apollo... but okey we have a Y There is a chance to be something as Π.Y or Λ.Y maybe the middle one is a dot Well, it's a tough one Thank you so much for all your help Bob L. |
