First one is Byzantine, pretty sure Anastasius I.

Second two are very common late Roman coins.

Top one is Victory holding a wreath, maybe Julian II?

Bottom one is emperor leading a captive; the obverse is probably too worn to determine a ruler with any real certainty.

The first coin is a Byzantine Follis of the emperor Justinian I 527-565 AD. You can just make out part of the legend DN IVST on the obverse. Most of the reverse identifiers are worn off but I believe it is Sear number SB-159.
