#1: bronze of Philip II of Macedonia, father of Alexander the Great. See the Wildwinds page for Philip II for numerous examples.

I think #2 is supposed to be one of these as well.

#3 is too corroded for me to tell anything other than "late Roman bronze".

#4 is too worn for me to tell whether it's Roman or Roman Provincial; it also appears to be double-struck, confusing the portrait beyond my ability to recognize.

Better pics of #3 and #4 might help.

3 ? probably Constantius II or Constantius Gallus, reverse soldier spearing fallen horseman type. ?
4 Syrian, either Beroea or Chalcis, or possibly some other mint (I don't recall if any other cities that struck this type). The emperor is Trajan.

probably Constantius


That's what I was thinking after studying it.
