Most of these should be identifiable. In fact, right off the bat I can tell you the upper left one is from Arados - with APAΔIΩN below a left-facing bull for the reverse.
I would recommend separating the coins with the light green spots, which is an indicator of bronze disease.

Another: second row, first coin (below the Arados issue):
Antiochos VII Euergetes. Eros obverse, Isis headdress reverse (upside-down in your pic).

The middle coin, with the ΔE and wreath reverse, may be from Antioch, perhaps Elababalus.

Elagabalus, Antioch
Obv: IMP C M AVR ANTONINVS AVG - Laureate bust right

The upper right coin appears to - perhaps - have an Apollo bust obverse and tripod reverse. Likely from the Kingdom of Macedon or Seleucid Empire. The reverse legend, which is unclear in the picture, should help pin that one down.

The lower left coin, with an Apollo/laurel branch combo is a Roman Provincial from Antioch, from the time of Nero. The reverse legend may be ANTIOXEΩN / ΔP.

The bottom middle coin, with the prancing/galloping horse and (it seems) no legend, may well be from Sicily, based on the fabric. The obverse is hard to make out, and the coin has a bad case of bronze disease. If I had to guess, perhaps an issue from Solus, Sicily.
