It will really get confusing trying to figure out which coin is which, but I'll give it a go. Counting from the top left:
#1: corroded.
#2: Perhaps a Roman Provincial bronze with a snake on it.
#3: Byzantine, anonymous follis.
#4: Roman?
#5: Corroded, possibly Byzantine.
#6 and #7: Roman brass.
#8a and #8b: Late Roman bronzes
#9: Roman.
#10: Roman brass.
#11: another Byzantine anonymous follis (similar to #3)
For the rest, all that can really be said is "Roman?", except for #13, for which I have no idea - perhaps it's a jeton.
They all look severely overcleaned. Closer pics of both sides of each coin would be helpful. Preferably, put each coin in its own thread, so they can be moved to the appropriate part of the forum when they're properly IDed.
