I am no expert, but they look roman to me.

I personally would not clean them to much as the detail may start to come off.

Thanks KLD, I wish I knew what they said and maybee it would give me a clue as to where they were made (Roman, Greek, etc.) and when they were made.

If I was a betting man, I would put my money on ROMAN.

The top coin is Valentinian I. I did some coin checking online. I matched it by the words on the coin. He was a Christian Roman Emperor from 364-375AD.
