I need ID help for these Roman coins. It's not the best quality.

Forum rules:  One coin per post, give size and weight if possible.

Looks like they both could be emperor Gratian. Obverse legend is DN GRATIANVS PF AVG. First coin is emperor dragging barbarian, and GLORIA ROMANORVM. Looks to be minted in Constantinople. Second is VOT/XX/MVLT/XXX in wreath, and looks to be Antioch minted. If you type in 'Gratian' and 'Ae 4' into google you should find your coins with a fuller description. Good luck!

The second coin is Constans, and probably Nicomedia mint - SMN(officina), though it could be Heraclea; its sometimes difficult to tell the difference between N and H. The starting dot may help to confirm, but I don't have my RIC with me
