I just need help identifying the type (or even just emperor) of the following coins. I do not have the coins in my possession, so DO NOT ask for better pictures. I have ideas about about a couple of them, but I am not sure. Thanks in advance!

Coins 1,2, 5, and 6 are of Constantius II (337-361 CE). Coin4 looks like Emperor Valens (364-378 CE)
Good luck !

The second and fourth coins look like they could be cleaned further.

All of them need a bit of a soak in distilled or de-ionised water and a good brush up with an old toothbrush. I think you will see a lot more detail after that.

1. Constantius II (or perhaps Constans) / Votive Wreath

2. Id guess Constantius II, reverse is FEL TEMP REPARATIO - soldier spearing fallen horseman.

3. Constans, facing victories with wreaths, its a bit of a long legend so I cant remember it off the top of my head, begins VICTORIA...

4. Valens, GLORIA ROMANORVM, emperor draggig captive barbarian.

5. House of Constantine (cant be any more specific, I am quite confident its not Constantine), FEL TEMP again.

6. Another votive wreath. The legend spacings look to be Constans and the hair style is quite distinctively Constantius II or Constans, id be happy calling it Constans. Looks to read VOT XX MVLT XXX.
