    Coin #1 - Hadrian - struck either 118 or 119 A.D. - sestertius?
    Coin #2 - Trajan - provincial issue - probably Phoenicia judging by the representation of "the Abduction of Europa" on the reverse. This was a popular motif for Sidon, Phoenicia.
    Coin #3 - whew! Not much left of that one! Possibly Phoenician as well from the reverse inscription. Doesn't really look Greek and definitely not Latin.

    Hope that helps a little!

    coin #2 is definitely from Sidon, Phoenicia. I got my crappy bronzes out and just happened to have a similar coin that was attributed to the Lindgren guide.
