Here are images of 6 ancients that I could use the help of experts to identify and get opinions on authenticity. Small copper coins - largest about the size of a US nickel.

One is dated 1666 and the other 1668(?)
No idea if they are authentic. Contemporary counterfeits from that period are also known.
So the only coins here that are technically "ancient" are the two Late Romans, bottom left and bottom centre. The middle one is Constantius II, I can't see enough detail to pick the left one.
Roman emperor Marcus Aurelius, "Meditations"
Apparently I have been awarded one DPOTD.
The other Constantius is one of his earliest issues, which makes this pair a nice "bookend" collection of Constantius' bronze coinage.
I'll be posting a piece later in the week that's troubling me as well, stuff pulled from melt.
