#1 appears to be Constantius II (though the type is known for Julian II as well, though it's scarcer), Thessalonica mint (SMTS? mintmark), reverse type SPES REIPVBLICE (Hope of the Republic)., similar to this one on WIldwinds only the mintmark is different.
#2 I can't see much at all, except it's from the post-Constantine period.
#3 is a base-metal antoninianus of one of the emperors of the mid to late 200's; in such condition, Tetricus I of the breakaway Anglo-Gallic Empire is a good assumption. Reverse is Salus (Health) feeding a snake on an altar, something like these ones.

Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis
