First one has a reverse SECVRITAS REIPVBLICAE with a winged Victory advancing left and holding a wreath in right hand. I'd say perhaps Valentinian I; obverse seems to bear ANVS PF AVG at right.
Second one has a reverse GLORIA ROMANORVM with the emperor advancing right with labarum in left hand and dragging captive with right hand behind him. I'd say Valens; obverse seems to bear D N V at left and S PF AVG at right.

Thank you!
1st coin is RIC# 7a, AE3 (364-367 AD) of Valentinian I
2nd coins is RIC# 17b AE3 (364-367 AD) of Valens
Unfortunately it's a bit hard to see since the relief of both coins is pretty worn off and of each coin there exists an equivalent of it with either Valentinian I or Valens. But judging by your expertise, we are in the good direction! :)

Any help is highly appreciated! :D
