Could it be Arcadius or one of the others? I think you need Ben for this one.

I was thinking Honorius, with the left of the helmet off the side.

Not enough detail to be able to tell who it is. Honorius id guess by the shape of the face (they change shape and shrink as time went on). I've got a few of these knocking about.

Also, I reckon this is Trajan Decius. But I couldnt whip up a reference for you.

Well, I can read TRAIANO in the legend. It certainly looks like him, from his other coins from the western empire.

Sorry just woke up. The first coin I believe is Trajan Decius and the second I believe is Honorius.

Trajan Decius. Third issue (based on obverse legend). Looks like Prieur 581.
