My Grandparents lived in the middle east for a long time in the 50's and 60's and my grandpa had these coins I was wondering if anyone can identify them:

Coins # 2,3,5, and 6 are Ancient Roman. The rest appear to be islamic

#2 appears to be Constantinus II 337-361 AD, reverse is the emperor spearing a horseman, with the inscription of FEL TEMP REPARATIO ("RESTORATION OF HAPPY TIMES").
#3 Appears to be Diocletian 284-305 AD, though it's difficult to read the inscription.
#5 The image looks like Domitian 81-96 AD, but it's difficult to say with the amount of weasr on the coin. It has a counter mark on the obverse.
#6 Appears to be Gallienus 253-268 AD. But becaues of the wear I can't be 100% on this one either.

Hello and to the forum.

I'd agree with echizento - difficult to confirm 100% as the pics are quite small.

The last one does look like Gallienus but could possibly be Claudius II Gothicus.
