    They are a mixture of Roman and Byzantine coins plus one later piece that I can't identify (second photo, upper left).

    Upper Left: Roman Provincial, Emperor Philip I (r. 244 - 249 AD), Antioch, Syria.
    Upper Right: Byzantine, Bronze Follis, Emperor Justin II and Sophia, minted in Cyzicus, 577 AD(?)
    Lower Left: Byzantine, Bronze Decanummium, Emperor Justinian the Great, Minted in Antioch, c. 546 AD
    Lower Right: Roman Empire, Bronze Maiorina, Emperor Constantius II (r. 337 - 361 AD), Uncertain mint, c. mid-late 350's AD

    Nothing rare, but a nice sampling of ancient coins from different periods of Roman history.

    Upper left - Roman Provincial
    Upper right - Byzantine
    Lower left - Byzantine
    Lower right - 4th century Roman bronze (maybe one of the constantius/constantines) Spearing fallen horseman, Fel Temp Reparatio reverse type
