That Celtic coin is fascinating, I really hope someone can ID it. Might just be the lighting but it looks like it could be electrum/gold alloy. The Roman piece is a Constantine The Great campgate coin, and he ruled from AD 306-337. Hopefully someone can narrow down when during his reign it was minted. Nice finds!

In addition to bumping this up - I wanted to say I liked Plumbata's post about the Celtic being made of electrum ,
does it have a slight golden tint ?

I believe the coin to be a very crude strike, or Imitation of Philip II, or 111 of Macedon, are you from Eastern Europe.
