Several look like they can be identified, especially, number 7. I think with larger images, most would be recognizable if not attributable. If you can post the larger images and members here will be glad to help out.
On another note, I take it you found all of these yourself metal detecting? That last coin, the Domitian Denarius is a great find and a highly sought after reverse design. Congratulations.

The last coin is Byzantine and appears to be Manuel Commenus. Your pictures are a bit too dark to ID the coins. It would help to take a picture of one coin at at time. It looks like you might have some interesting coins there. The Domitian is a nice coin.

The Domitian attributes as Domitian Denarius, RIC 271 (RIC [1962] 51) (Titus), RSC 399a, BMC 98 Domitian, as Caesar under Titus, AR denarius. CAESAR DIVI F DOMITIANVS COS VII, laureate head right / PRINCEPS IVVENTVTIS, helmet on altar. http://www.wildwinds.com/coins/sear...tml#RIC_0271[titus] |

7 is Arcadius and SALVS REIPVBLICAE. Now, I'm interested in 4 - thats a highly valued coin! $200 in this condition: http://www.ebay.com/itm/AUGUSTUS-vi...047675.l2557And yours is so much nicer! What great finds. Number 3 looks like a very distinctive bust and someone might recognise it. |

That seller on ebay consistently posts some of the highest prices. Take a look at the ones for sale on Vcoins: http://www.vcoins.com/en/Search.asp...OnSale=FalseEdited by Bing

 divide that sellers prices by about 4 to get a better idea of a reasonable 'buy it now' price on ebay or from a dealer, halve it again to get an auction price  |

Hi,in my opinions I see:
1)Valens
2)Constantine I
3)Constantine II(or I soli invicto comiti type)
7)arcadius
8)other Valens
5)maybe constans but not sure
6)I think a Byzantine coinage weight
