Ancient Coins!!

What can you tell me about these coins? I just picked them up this weekend in a group I bought but I have no idea of age, country of origin or value. Any help would be appreciated.

Reverse:

 

ancient Roman...

Looks like either something from constan(tins's) or valens....will do a attribution later, if someone else dont do one by then

Can you get a closer pic to the one on the right? I think Ican attribute it right now.

I'll let you do it.

The larger coin is Roman provincial. I can't read the Greek letters on either the obverse (which would state the name of the empress) or the reverse (which would have the name of the provincial city).

 

Thanks for the help guys but that is the best my ol' camera can do. Any idea of their value?

 

The one on the right is a Soldiers standing...and the exergue is ASIS (dot)

I can't read the obverse too well, but will try to figure it out and get the RIC for you.

The one on the left...well, that one is to hard to tell rom the pics

I would say they are about $5 coins.

Ok,

for the one on the right (the smaller coin in the pic):

Constans
346-348 AD

OBV: CONSTAN-S PF AVG

Rev:

GLOR-IA EXERC-ITVS

ASIS star

RIC:


RIC VIII Siscia 78

The Roman emperor on the left coin looks like Antoninus Pius, but the legend is
hard to make out.

Could be a Roman provinial coin for a Greek area.

 

Thanks again for sharing your knowledge!!
