Awesome finds. I love the Roman stuff.

I see one is the Emperor Caracalla:

RIC 81v Denarius Obv: ANTONINVSPIVSAVG - Laureate, head right.
Rev: PONTIFTRPVIIICOSII - Mars standing left, resting hand on shield and holding spear. [RIC lists for draped bust]. 206 (Rome).

Also see one is the Emperor Lucius Verus:

RIC 482 (Marcus Aurelius), BMC 202, C 155 Denarius Obv: IMPLAVRELVERVSAVG - Bare head right.
Rev: PROVDEORTRPIICOSII - Providentia standing left, holding globe and cornucopia.

Had a relatively large area, it seems to be their age. First century and the third century.

Unfortunately, the images must be deleted after you have seen. We did not have a strong democracy, than with you.
