Hello !
I bought these 8 roman coins, but I did not manage to classify them.
Please help me!
Thank you!

Welcome to the forum!

These are nice coins and people can undoubtedly help you to identify them.

However, please post one coin per thread.  That is the forum rule - instituted because it makes discussion of the coins easier.

Great.  Feel free to post the others in new threads.

This is a coin of Honorius - you can see the start of his legend DNHONO on the left side of the obverse.  The full legend is DN HONORIVS PF AVG.

The reverse legend is GLORIA ROMANORVM.  As this was used on several coin types at this time this type is known as the "Emperor standing holding labarum and globe".

The mint mark SMN :Greek_Gamma: means it was struck in the third ( :Greek_Gamma:) workshop at the mint of Nicomedia (modern Izmit, Turkey).

This type was struck from 393 to 395 AD.
