Heres rough IDs:
VRBS ROMA (the city of Rome) / Romulus and Remus suckling the She wolf.
DN CONSTANTINI MAX AVG (Our Lord, Constantine the Great Augustus) around wreath, VOT XX (star) within. Constantine I Magnus, Heraclea mint.
SECVRITAS REIPVBLICAE (Carefree Republic), Siscia Mint, Valens.
Constantius Gallus, FEL TEMP REPARATIO (Happy times are back)
GLORIA EXERCITVS (Glory of the Army) / VRBS ROMA (a rare combination for a city commemorative)
nother Valens / SECVRITAS, perhaps Kyzicus Mint.
GLORIA EXERCITVS, Constantine II.
Julian II, FEL TEMP REPARATIO.
Im afraid they arent worth much. The only one which is slightly uncommon is the second VRBS ROMA, and in that condition it wont bring much unless you can find the right person to sell it to.

Thank you for the information. I really appreciate it.
Could any of these be considered striking errors? I looked a few of them up and most of them do not have the odd looking off center strikes, split planchets, etc.. and are mostly round.
I bought these thinking that there might be an error associated with a few of them. I am a avid error coin enthusiast, so I always try to keep my eyes open for odd looking coins.

Due to the manual process of making coins back then off center strikes and non-circular flans are very common and aren't considered striking errors. The most common striking errors you'll see on ancient coins are double strikes, and occasionally brockages.

Thank you for the info about errors.
I will try to post pictures of the rest of the group tonight. If none of them are worth more than a few bucks a piece then I will just sell them all in a lot. I think I paid the most for the VRBS ROMA (the city of Rome) / Romulus and Remus suckling the She wolf with a few others, But, I really can't remember and it couldn't have been more than $30 for the lot The rest of the coins were pretty cheap and not in the best condition.

that urbs roma has some nice details, to bad the patina is gone. some of those will be fully attributable with a nice mint mark, like your second and third coin, still not worth much but I think someone looking for a starter coin would be interested. but selling them all off as a mass lot may be the way to go (less fees for you that way as well...if you're using ebay). |

Yeah, I put them on with a $25 start bid and a $50 buy it now. I probably spent a little more than that on them but, I needed the money soon to help pay for a rental car to drive to Colorado this week and take placement tests at the College I will be attending this fall. Wish me good "skills" as my music teacher used to say.
