№ 1.
It is emperor Arcadius or his brother Honorius. But my guess: Honorius. Help! I need somebody help!

 

№ 2.
Is it Faustina? Faustina Senior of Faustina Junior? Or maybe it is another woman?

 

№ 3.
It is Iovianus (363-364) or Valentinianus I (364-375)?

 

Faustina I bun on top.
Faustina II bun behind.

 

I think I have a similar coin.. Arcadius for first coin.. Hope so.

 

Number 1 is hard to see, but I would lean towards Arcadius from the letters I can make out. Bigger pic would help.

Number 2 is Faustina II, Fortuna reverse.

Number 3 is either Jovian or Valentinian I from the Sirmium mint. You would have to be able to make out the letters on the left side since they both have the legend break ANVS PF AVG.

 

№ 4.
Is it Valens (364-378) or Valentinianus I (364-375)?

 

Valens, Heraclea mint.

 

Thank you very much Sir.

 

№ 5.
Is it Theodosius I (379-395) or his son Honorius? I see the soldier in the boat.

 

It can't be Heraclea because there are 5 letters in the mintmark. It looks more like SMAQ(?), so Aquileia

 

№ 6.
Is it Constantius II (337-361)?

 

It is Theodosius and odds-on bet is that no. 6 is Constantius II. On the VOT V coin I would presume Jovian, I have an identical example in my collection.

 

There are members of this forum who are far more knowledgeable than I when it comes to attributing late period Roman coins and I'm sure they will offer opinions soon.

On a subject related to your avatar—here’s a superb public domain image of Peter the Great.

 

№ 7. Hello gentlemen. I got this tetradrachma of emperor Gaius Messius Quintus Traianus Decius (249-251) today. Please tell me what is the Mint? My guess - Antioch on Orontes.

 

looks like ric Thessalonica 189

 

Yes, you are correct on Aquileia, my bad.

Yep, Syria, Antioch billon tetradrachm.
