Please post one or two coins at a time, it makes it much more easier to ID them.
Coins 1,2,5, 6,7, and 8 are Roman Republic. Coin 4 purports to be Julius Caesar, but doesn't look right. Need a better picture. Coins 10 & 11 are Roman Imperial.

4 looks like a denarius of Augustus to me. I second the call for better photos.

That photo helps. The Augustus looks like: RIC 77a; RSC 137

If I may ask, what was the context of acquiring these unidentified? This lot is worth probably minimum $500-750; if you paid less you either got the deal of the century or most/all counterfeits. They DO look genuine, but to find a scarcer and desirable Augustus denarius unattributed seems unusual to me.
