Old Greek/Roman Coins

Hello,

Can anyone tell me about these coins?



I recently inherited some coins and I am having trouble identifying these. Would they be worth anything?
Hello,

I know nothing about ancient coins, but I can tell you Number 14 is not from antiquity, but is a French Double Tournois from 1640, from the principality of Orange-Nassau: https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces56244.html
They all look edible to me :O Like Licorice ^^
Hello,
I can give you some help :
1 is a tetradrachm struck in Alexandria (Egypt) under Roman rule, during 3rd century, with Tyche on reverse. It could be several emperors depending on the legends. Maybe Diocletian.

2 : no clue

3 : GLORIA EXERCITVS reverse type, probably under Constantine I. The mintmark under the feet of the soldiers should give you the location of the mint. I can't read it on the pics.

6 : byzantine follis

7 : same as one, but with different reverse. L B so year two of the reign.

8 : Maximianus Herculius, follis, reverse CONCORDIA MILITVM

9 : roman early 4th century

10 : Gallienus

11 : roman early 4th century

12 : medieval islamic fals

13 : byzantine follis (Constans II ?)

15 : byzantine decanummium, maybe Phocas ?

16 : roman 4th century

17 : reverse SOL INVICTO COMITI, no clue of the emperor, early 4th century.

18 : roman 4th century, reverse type probably something like VOT X MVLT XX

19 : roman 4th century, maybe Constans II, reverse FEL TEMP REPARATIO

I could give you and you could get better and more precise answers with better pics, weight and diameter of each coin, and a topic for each coin.
Thank you so much for your help.
