Help identifying ancients

I have aquired these ancients over the last few years and am having trouble identifying them. Any help would be appreciated or directions to help would be helpful too!

I have info on some but not sure if some of it is correct.


This coin is VERY small, about 7 millimeters

The next coin is a large Roman, about 40 millimeters or an inch and a quarter

This coin I was told is from 300-400 A.D. Roman

The next, I believe, is from the middle east, not sure..

Does not appear to be to many experts on this forum about ancient rome. If you go to this forum and post like you did here they can tell you all about them. Olmanjon

All you need to do to post these pics is to copy the URL and paste it in the little image button. Seventh from the left above the Quick Reply box.

I was trying that at first, but the images were massive, unless there is a quick way to resize. Every time i grab a corner of the pic to make it smaller it never drags, it just switches back to the arrow X.

I tried to resize at my image hoster site but it didnt reflect the changes when the link was reclicked.

If you know a solution let me know, I appreciate your help though.
