Great finds! I have a similar small coin in my collection. Many of these types of coins depict Nike giving a wreath to Zeus on the reverse. Can't quite tell if that is what's happening on yours, but that's what it looks like, if that helps you in any way.

Nice finds hispan! These small bronzes are hard to come by. Often overlooked when hunting iron infested sites. I guess you were walking very slow!
Got the same Follis of Costantinus last fall! (Last pic) Your Terra Sigillata is cool. Decorated TS is not that common and you found a very nice one! Congrats.
