Definately a broken purse bar in the last photo. Wonder where the contents fell???

I would also imagine the first denarii is Republican - it looks to my untrained eye as the god Apollo on the front which is normally a good indicator.

Not sure who the second one is - someone on DW will know though.

Great finds

Well done.

Neil
