Re: No idea who this could be
So, here is what I'm looking at...
Obverse:
Bust right, laureate wreath has tie loops behind head
Reverse:
God/dess seated left, arm positions, two distinct letters: DV.
Those letters only appear with Fortuna, or Indulgentia seated left. Only Indulgentia has these in the position shown.
But, it looks like a C, not L, follows the DV. Not finding that combination.

Re: No idea who this could be
In hand, I could manipulate the coin under a magnifying glass and pull out more letters.

I'm pretty sure the reverse says: AVΓOVCTHC TPAIANHC
I can make out the: ΓOVCH CTPA from your images.

Re: No idea who this could be
Septimius Severus has a rough beard which is not obvious on your coin.
So, I'm going to recommend we get some help. For the two coins unidentified, try posting them in the discussion board on FORVM ancient coins. There are a lot better experts there. Some of them may glance at your coin and just know.-
