That's quite a handful of ancient coins. Some things I would enjoy knowing: are they a hoard (found together), did you dig them up, what were the Elemaean people and how old are the coins?
 
Fantastic saves !!
Main coin is a drachm. Kamnaskires VI, Elymais (Parthian Empire 247BC-224 AD) Composed of billon, about 4.1 grams and probably ELAM mint (now Shusha, Iran).
If the coin has a diameter of 28mm it's a tetradrachm and weighs about 15 grams.
