Late Roman coins - Constantine dynasty?

3 posts
Hello,
Can anyone help me identify these worn coins? They all seem to me to be from the Constantine dynasty, or later (Theodosius?) but I can’t tell which emperors they are.

I'm no great expert, but I'll give my penny's worth. :)
#1 From the reverse you can tell this is a Fel Temp fallen Horseman type. These were issued from 348 onwards. From the obverse you can tell from the headbands that it is an Emperor not a Caesar and so that leaves only Constans or Constantius. Constans' Fallen Horsemen are very few and far between and so the probability is that it is Constantius.
#2 This is a Vota coin and again the choice is between Constans and Constantius. The portrait looks slightly more like the first rather than the second, but it is difficult to distinguish them.
#3 This is a Salus Reipublicae type issued by Theodosius and his sons. I think I see an N and an O, so it could be Honorius, but it might be easier to see in hand.
Thank you, for clarifying those things! It has always been confusing for me, the Emperor/Caesar stuff and Constantine I’s three sons and all, haha.
