Help me id 2 roman coins

Recommended Posts

Hello all.

Started a small collection of silver roman coins about 5 years ago. Got paperwork or managed to work out what most of them are, but can't find anything for these 2.

Could anyone help?

I don't recognise either, though my knowledge of Roman is moderate only.

The first one has an obverse typical of an earlyish emperor, but that reverse is like nothing I've ever seen.

The second one could possibly be Greek, but equally it could be a local imitation of an established type.

They look distinctly 2nd - early 3rd century and probably of good silver but beyond that I'm stumped. As Peck says, could be local imitations.
