Got my first ancient coins today. Some uncleaned late Roman bronze coins that I can't wait to clean!

I got my first ancient coins today. A batch of 10 bronze late Roman bronze coins. Most of them already show a lot of detail that will clean up nicely with some work (though the top one looks almost fully cleaned already). But first I got to wait for the destilled water to do it's thing for the coming weeks.

Are there some coins that I can already ID? The top one say Constanti on the obverse with SIS on the back. Google says that would be the mintmark for Siscia.
