Nero Dupondius

Hello, I recently won an auction for this cool coin. It's a Nero Dupondius from 65 AD. I think it's so amazing to have a piece of history from 2000 years ago.

Troas Neandria

This is a pretty cool coin I have. I think it is a Neandrian Troas from the greek city state of Neandria. It features the head of Apollo facing right, and a horse grazing on the obverse. The letters NEAN are visible above the horse. A similar coin I found online is this one. I will show you the pictures of the coin, and the coin I found online. The first 2 are the ones I have, and the second two are the other one. If anyone has any more information about this coin, please tell me. Thanks everyone.

Who is on this coin?

Hello, I recently got this ancient roman coin, and am currently soaking it in distilled water. I am trying to identify the emperor, but no matter what website I go to I can't identify him. The coin is most likely from the Constantine/Post Constantine era, but I can't pinpoint who is on it. Anyone with an idea of who it could be?
