Great coins all

 

ancient coin hunter ... seriously, can't you get closer to your coin? (crop-out 2/3 of the white background and show us a better coin-photo?)

Your coins will appreciate the effort

 

This is either Honorius or Arcadius, can't really tell, except there appears to be an "O" in the legend which would push me in favor of Honorius. Reverse appears to be Constantinoplis. Facing helmeted bust on the obverse. Came in the same hoard as the Arcadius coins above. If I am wrong please let me know. Thanks!

 

We'd probably need a better photo.

I like tiny AE4s. Here's an Arcadius from Siscia:
