Help me identify these Roman coins?

3 сообщений
Hello,
These coins are from the same seller on eBay and I haven’t been able to properly identify them so far. Any idea? I’d like some opinions on their authenticity if possible, though the seller is a rather trusted one. Maybe simply cleaned or such?

Hello,

They are all genuine, but quite corroded and worn.

The #1 is indeed Provincial, and shows tyche on reverse but I couldn't tell more. Maybe someone with more experience in roman provincial coinage could recognize it.

The #2 could be a dupondius of Domitian, but I'm still struggling to decipher any character or depiction on the reverse.

The #3 is an antoninianus Claudius II with FIDES EXERCI on reverse. IMP C CLAVDIVS AVG on obverse. Your Fides seems to look right, if it's that so I cannot find an exact match in the RIC.

The #4 is a votive type for Constantius II. Reverse VOT XX MVLT XXX.

The #5 is for Constantine I, reverse VIRTVS AVGG, campgate type, PR across fields, mintmark possibly RP, rome mint.
Thank you for the help! Hmm, interesting...

I think the Provincial one is from Syria, and from what I've seen on Wildwinds it's probably one of those?

The reverse of #2 looks rather hopeless to me...but thank you! I thought it was Nero at first but the head didn't quite match. Domitian is definitely closer.

Then I suppose #3 is https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces103670.html? The obverse looks better than many of the Roman coins I own, only a shame it's covered with what seems to be verdigris.

I just noticed #4 was upside down, oops...

And hmmmm...for some reason #5 looks like it's harder to identify than I thought it would be. My coin has "CONST-ANTINVS" and a campgate with eight layers/three turrets but it's not on http://www.wildwinds.com/coins/ric/constantine/i.html. The closest is either http://www.wildwinds.com/coins/ric/constantine/_rome_RIC_VII_167_T.jpg or http://www.wildwinds.com/coins/ric/constantine/_rome_RIC_VII_184_T.jpg or http://www.wildwinds.com/coins/ric/constantine/_rome_RIC_vII_176.jpg, I think?
