Attribution Help - Constantinian

Are there any experts here in LRBs who would be willing to help me attribute these three coins with catalog numbers? It looks like the first two are Constantine I, divus I believe. The third I'm not sure about at all. This isn't my area of specialty, and I lack references. I'm not sure about the denominations, either. The largest coins is 17 mm, the middle one is 14 mm, and the smallest one is about 11 mm. Any help is appreciated.

You're correct about the Divo Constantinus for the first two.
Apparently the cloak hood thing was a sign of deification.

The last one certainly appears to be an early Byzantine issue. It might be a nummus of someone like Anastasius.

Thanks @furryfrog02! The monogram on the small one looks like it matches the one for Marcian. Although mine doesn't seem to have the cross above, but some other symbol.

 

Thanks, @Roman Collector! This is very helpful. The mintmark looks the same to me as yours, as far as SMNΔ, and so does the rest of the legend on the reverse. I can't tell if the • is part of the mintmark, though. Your example is quite a bit nicer than mine!

 

Thanks for pointing me to this page, @hotwheelsearl!

 

Yes, it is Marcian:

The top coin is from Cyzicus, A.D. 347-348. The mint mark is SMK[Δ?], making it RIC 46.

Second coin is from Constantinople, A.D. 337-340. The CONS mint mark makes this RIC 37.

 

@gsimonel Thank you! You've saved me a lot of time.
