Managed to identify #1: Constantinus I follis, SOLI INVICTO COMITI reverse, https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces111301.html

#6 looks like that CONSTANTINOPOLIS commemorative of Constantinus I, can't tell which variety exactly.

I have doubts about #7 being roman but I may be wrong.
No 2 is very low grade but I think I can read "ODO" on the obverse legend which would make it Theodosius I, the reverse is SALVS REIPVBLICAE, SMK (Cyzicus) mintmark.

No 3 is as far as I can tell Constans with a VICTORIAE DD AVGGQ NN reverse, TES (Thessalonica) mintmark. It could also be someone else from the Constantinian dynasty if part of the obverse legend is missing at the top of the coins but as is right now I think it's Constans.

Giobruno took care of no1 and no6, no7 is in my opinion a provincial issue. As for the rest they're also 4th century, very low grade but maybe identifyable. No 4 is minted in Constantinopole (CON mint mark) but I don't recognize the reverse, the emperor's name starts with DN ends with AVG, no 5 has a SALVS REIPVBLICAE reverse.

I collect and deal in ancient Roman coin. In case you're looking for affordable ancient coins or need any help with the coins you already have send me a message.
Thank you very much for your help.

I have been told that the coin number 7 is not Roman, but actually is from the Kushan Empire which now makes sense.

Regarding the coin number 5 following the information given here and comparing pictures it seems to be Theodosius l (it'smy best guess) but also Arcadius.

What do you guys think?
After a second look I'm beginning to think no 5 has a SECVRITAS REPVBLICAE and not SALVS REIPVBLICAE reverse which would make it Valentinian, Valens, Gratian, and Valentinian II. Judging from the portrait alone (large head) I'd say Valentinian I: http://augustuscoins.com/ed/ricix/type6.html

Also found no 4 on: http://augustuscoins.com/ed/ricix/ , it's Gratian, GLORIA NOVI SAECVLI reverse. You can find it here: http://augustuscoins.com/ed/ricix/type9.html :)
