Was going thru my junk buckets today and pulled these out. They look like roman coins, but need help identifying type and year, Etc. The four coins are about the size of a dime and nickel. The single coin is the size of a quarter.

Roman coins:First coin is Aurelian antoninian coin 270-275 year,coin on the right next to this coin is very odd,could be Barbaric imitation of Roman coins,but also could be a modern fake (there is no patina on the coin.....,and i dont know weight and dia.of that coin,it have CS on reverse and only I and II century bronze coins have this mark:that mean Senatus Consultum-Emperor could not mint bronze coins in that time without permission of Senat)
Next coin is Galienus antoninian 253-268 year.Coin next to that one is VRBS ROMA coin dedicated to City of Rome minted in reign of Constantine the Great.
Big coin (i gues about 22 mm) is Constans IV century coin called Centionalis,Constans was a son of Constantine the Great
Happy New Year to all and

Marcus, Thanks a lot for your help in ID'ing the coins. I knew if anyone could help, it would be you. We in the states don't find roman coins very often. What would be the approximate value of each one? Thanks again.

You can type name of the Emperor here : www.acsearch.info (http://www.acsearch.info)
For example i typed Constans Fel Temp and i get these:

http://www.acsearch.info/search.html?search=constans+fel+temp&view_mode=1&e n=1&de=1&fr=1&it=1&es=1&ol=1&sort=&c=&a=&l=#2

Fel Temp Reparatio is on the reverse of your last coin,and sometimes is enough to type only few words,or only letters that you can see.
