Looks like a silver denarius of the Roman Republic. The moneyer's name is Vibius, so maybe C. Vibius Pansa? I'm away from my books at the moment, but hope those clues will help.
Denarius 90 B.C.
Obv: legend "PANSA", laureate head of Apollo right, behind, inscription; before, control-mark. Border of dots.
Rev: legend "C·VIBIVS·C·F", Minerva in quadriga right, holding spear and reins in left hand and trophy in right hand. Border of dots.
C Vibius Pansa – Republican moneyer, probably the adoptive father of the C. Vibius Pansa Caetronianus (q.v.) who issued coins in 48 BC. He was also proscribed by Sulla (q.v.) (Dio xlv, 17, 1). His coins are marked C·VIBIVS·C·F PANSA.

Thanks on the first one, here's another!

Byzantine coins are outside my usual area, but my guess would be a gold Solidus of Constantine VII (with either Romanus I, or Romanus II) from the 10th century AD.
Last One I promise
