Roman Provincial Coinage, Volume VIII (RPC VIII)

I should make a habit of going through the different volumes of the RPC more often 😉. While browsing through RPC VIII today I found 4 of my coins pictured 😊. The info is always helpful for identification, & to see how many other coins are listed under that specific type, who sold them, or what collection they are in. Pictured below are the coins I found.
