    Thanks to everyone for all the help in my last thread! Several coins were identified, and several that I thought were correctly labeled turned out to be in the wrong holders somehow. So, here are photos of all fifteen coins, along with all the info I currently know about each one. I'd really appreciate your help definitively identifying all of them, since I'm going to re-holder and re-label (where necessary) all of these soon. I'll update the descriptions for each coin as I learn more about them. :)

    Here's a link to a photo album with all the coins, if you'd like to see somewhat larger images.

    • AD 307-312
    • AE, follis, Aquileia Mint

    (It looks like there's a limit on how many images can fit in a post, so I'll continue this below.)

    #2 is a GLORIA ROMANORVM reverse with a soldier dragging a captive. Try Tesorillo for any match to the obverse - the mint on the reverse may narrow it down a bit too:

    Also, some of your other coins (#6, #11) may be identifiable usingTesorillo.

    #6 is a Fel Temp Reparatio reverse, probably of Constantius II

    #7 is a half-follis denomination (K is the Greek numeral for 20 - 20 nummus in one half-follis, 40 nummus in a full follis), but I can't make out the obverse

    #8 is likely attributed as RIC 105

    #10 Macedon is the kingdom while Macedonia is the region

    #11 Fel Temp Reparatio reverse, probably of Constantius II

    #13 (MIGHT) be a Greek Dichalkon from Thrace, Mesembria

    #15 does not appear to be Constans, as I think I see a radiate crown on the bust. Tough to tell.
