All over cleaned - the ones which look like gold are Brass, in latin 'Oricalcum' which means Golden Metal - they thought it looked like gold and mined it dry - eventually, through melting where the zinc evaporates off, it stopped looking like gold and just became bronze. You can get a little gradient if you collect enough roman sesterces.

Id? I'm afraid I cant help.

The last one is not ancient. It is an Islamic coin, from Yemen I believe, and dated 1322 Islamic calendar (AD 1904).
