Ancient Identification Help Please

[AU24K]

I have several ancient coins that I'd like to have identified.
While I was in college a few years ago, my Anthropology Professor offered info on some of them,
which I'll include with pics.
Any further help in identification is greatly appreciated.
TIA.

A-10 I like the professor's call.
Looks similar to this one:

Notice the similarity of the 'belly buttons' above the waist in both your coin and this one.
Constantius Gallus, Caesar, AE Centenionalis. FL IVL CONSTANTIVS NOB CAES, bare-headed and cuirassed bust right / CONCORDIA MILITVM, Emperor standing facing, head left, holding two labara, each bearing a Chi-Rho;Γ in left field, mintmark star TS Epsilon star. ( I can't read the mint mark but have assumed it too is from Thessalonica--Greece).

The reverse of A-9 portrays (what is called) Gloria Exercitvs ('glory to the Army'), with soldiers armed with spears and shields, standing on each side of a labarum, or two military ensigns. On coins of Christian emperors the labarum bears the monogram of Christ. This legend and type are common on the coins of Constantine the Great, Delmatius, Constantine II, Constans and Constantius II. They are regarded as bearing reference to the bravery and fortitude of the soldiers in subduing barbarous tribes. I can't read the mint mark but believe it too could have been minted in Thessalonica.

Can you provide an RIC number for #A9 and #A10?

Thanks!

PS.

Should I start a new thread?

Scott,
Yes, please start another thread for the Spanish coins.
The easy one in this group is #13.
Here's another example with more description.

Follis - Valens, Roman Empire

Detailed information about the coin Follis, Valens (SECVRITAS REIPVBLICAE; Heraclea), Roman Empire (27 BC, 395 AD), with pictures and collection and swap management: mintage, descriptions, metal, weight, size, value and other numismatic data

The mint mark is known to be SMH (Heraclea, Turkey) followed by the officia letter which is illegible. The reverse meaning, in Latin, Security for the Republic.

A-14
Obv: VRBS ROMA, helmeted bust of Roma, left, wearing imperial robes.
Rev: Lupa Romana, left, suckling Romulus and Remus; branch between two stars above. Your mint mark is obscured.

Here is one example:

The coin was issued under Constantine I the Great to celebrate the foundation of Constantinople and to also reaffirm Rome as the traditional centre of the Roman Empire.
