Yes, they're all Roman. Except for #1, they're all "late Roman bronzes", circa 300-400 AD.

#1: look like a Republican period silver denarius, circa 100 BC. The reverse looks severely damaged and the obverse isn;t much better, so I'm not sure it can be IDed better than that.

#2: a follis of Emperor Constans, reverse FEL TEMP REPARATIO with phoenix on pyre, mintmark unclear but probably Siscia.

#3: an emperor named Valentinian, not sure which one - the reverse is missing.

#4: two-Victories-and-shield type, but not sure of the emperor.

#5: Caesar Constantius Gallus, reverse FEL TEMP REPARATIO with soldier spearing horseman.

#6: reverse is Victory marching with wreath and the emperor's name begins with CONST... not sure which of several possibilities that could be.

#2 looks a little crude to me - is it possible that #2 could be a "barbarian" imitation?

I think No.2 is an official coin (though the distinction of official and barbarous is always grey around the edges) it's just the metal that was poor and it has corroded badly
