Can anyone identify these presumably Roman coins? How much are they worth?

    They appear to be 4th century Roman bronze coins. I can't make out who they are. Condition is terrible and value will be very low unless it turns out that one is of a rare personality.

    The one on the left has a VICTORIA - ROMANORVM reverse with emperor standing and holding standard and globe. The mintmark is CONS (Constantinople). I think these are from the 390s, so Arcadius or Honorius.

    The middle one is IMP C GAL VAL MAXIMIANVS P F AVG (Maximinus) with GENIO AVGVSTI reverse. The mintmark seems to be SMHT. RIC VI Heraclea 76 http://numismatics.org/ocre/id/ric.6.her.76

    The third one is also Maximinus Daia: IMP C GAL VAL MAXIMINVS P F AVG with HERCVLI - VICTORI reverse. I think it's Nicomedia, mintmark SMN, RIC VI Nicomedia 68 http://numismatics.org/ocre/id/ric.6.nic.68

    The middle one is Maximinus II, reverse GENIO AVGVSTI. Can't read the mintmark.

    On the right, appears to be another Maximinus II, reverse the rather unusual HERCVLI VICTORI, Antioch mint.

    Waste no more time arguing what a good man should be. Be one.

    I was going to put my two denarii in but see that others have identified them already. I'm afraid they aren't worth much being in very poor condition.
