The one on the far left is Roman, from Emperor Philip I or II. Not sure about the others.

The 3 green ones look like they could be helped by a long bath in distilled water (1 week or even a few months) and some light brushing with a brass brush. Properly done (oh so slowly) you might add some real eye appeal. Which with ancient coins very much adds value. The first one which does look like the Roman Emperor Philip I may be significantly helped but the process may take 6 month or more. Cleaning ancients requires much patience but the fast method is almost always the worst way to go.

It's difficult to see - but I suspect that far left one is Roman Provincial from the city of Viminacium
