    Hey there all,
    I obtained these Roman coins as part of a mixed lot I recently purchased. I would love any input on the type and potential value of the coins. There were several others but they were unfortunately afflicted with verdigris so they are likely beyond repair. thanks in advance for any help!

    Second coin is a FEL TEMP REPARATIO reverse. Can’t quite make out the obverse. Probably one of the sons of Constantine.

    Alas, these coins are exceedingly common, and yours aren’t in great shape. Maybe $10 on eBay. Maybe. But pretty cool to have genuine fourth-century coins in your hand.

    1 appears to be Constantine II
    2 appears to be Constantius II
    3 appears to be Theodosius I

    I would guess Constantine I ("the Great") for #1, minted in Antioch between 335 - 337 A.D.

    #2 is correct - Constantius II - but I can't make out the mint from the photo. There is a line under the soldier spearing the fallen horseman. The space under the line, called the exergue, contains a few letters. This is the mint mark. If you can make out these letters--maybe scrape away some of the dirt between them--we might be able to tell you where it was minted. It dates from around 348-361 A.D.

    #3, Theodosius I is from Thessalonica and dates from around 383-388 A.D.
