ROMAN COINS PRIZE FOR FIND OF YEAR

[HEAVYMETALNUT]

I won the find of the year for one of my 1789 George Washinton Inaugural buttons.
the prize came today and whoa! :shocked04: some old roman coins and some foreign odds n ends.no clue what these are and what they date to ?
a forum member from overseas donated them and were dug.
any roman coin experts here? would really love some identification on these.
thanks for lookin!
Dave
