Hello everybody of the ancient world! I've got these three what I suspect to be Roman coins that I cannot identify myself

Does anyone have an idea what any of these are?

#1 - Bronze Ø17mm



#2 - Silver Ø23mm



#3 - Also silver Ø23mm (longest)



Cheers

#2 and #3 are both Emperor Gallienus.
#2 Not that common with the obverse legend.

Thank you for these IDs and links! Really helpful!

Since #2 has a rather ugly stain on the portrait and #3 have some corrosion spots, what would be some good ways to hopefully fix these problems? I'm not sure an acetone bath would fix any of this and unfortunately most methods I've used are rather abrasive and have been done on considerably less interesting coins. Any suggestions are welcome!
