    Big 'un on the bottom is Byzantine, the rest late Roman from the fourth century or so (except top right with the radiate crown is more likely third century). Not sure 'bout the one at bottom right. Maybe another Byzantine.

    The Byzantine coin with two figures is a follis of Justin II (and Sophia), AD 565-578.

    The others appear to be Roman 4th century AD, some from Constantine's family.

    Hey, I do see a DirtCam® in there. (Reverse of the third piece on the top row).

    Others call that "desert patina" or "earthen patina", but I like DirtCam®. Like a Circulation Cameo ("CircCam"), but literally crusty. I like 'em like that.

    Edit to add: with the exception of perhaps the big Byzantine follis, they all look to me to be the sort of stuff you can typically get in a pick bin for a buck or less. (With the high end retail being perhaps $3/coin or so).

    Looks like the Coin Nibblers took a bite out of the first one.
