Thanks all for your comments!
I just put the Constantius Gallus, the Constantius II two Victories, and the Valens in olive oil so I'll see how they turn out in a few days.

Let's see them after they are done soaking. Throw the Procopius in there as well. Looks like that coin could improve with a bit of soaking, perhaps.

I just dunked the Procopius in. Based on how it looks in hand, I believe that only the reverse will improve. The obverse looks more like if it's corroded than just dirty. I could be wrong though, since, depending on how the coin looks, I am not the best when telling apart corrosion from dirt.

Thanks guys! And bobby, that number doesn't include the other unattributable ones I have, which brings the total number of Roman coins I have to around 92 I think! When I get Jovian it's going to be 93 with 80 attributed!

I just read the little fact about Honorius in your sig bobby. Pretty interesting! Did you know that it was under Honorius that the last gladiatorial games were held in the Colosseum in Rome? They were banned during his reign.
