This one might be a lost cause

12mm copper

Reverse maybe a man holding something in left hand (my right hand...so his left)

Thanks for trying!

What does the obverse legend say? Your scans are rough enough that I'm sure you can provide a bit more information!

Definitely from the post-Constantine era, which narrows you down to just a handful of emperors. The legend has no break, so start with the PFAVG and work backwards... you should be able to get the emperor's name, and then can maybe identify the reverse through the process of elimination.

The emperors in question are Theodosius I, Valentinianus II, Arcadius and Honorius. I think this problem can be solved.

For certain Arcadius, emperor dragging captive.
