Two very worn Roman coins [gelöst]

Hi I have these two extremely badly worn Roman coins.

Both weigh about 2g & measure 18mm in diameter.

Pretty sure one is this Tacticus Atoninianus sure https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces36019.html

The other, which is far less clear, looks like maybe a Constantine or Diocletian Follis.

Anyone have any ideas, please?

Tetricus would also be my guess for the first coin. Although, without being able to read at least par of the name of the emperor, this is just a guess. There are other emperors too with similar portraits. The second coin starts with DN (DOMINUS NOSTER) so it's not Diocletian, I think i can read VAL after the DN so it's most likely someone from the Valentinianic dynasty. The portrait is also 4th century not 3rd so definitely not Diocletian.

​Thanks, that's helped a lot. I've definitely found the right coin type now, it's a follis with Victory facing left. There are a few very similar types, but with this amount of corrosion it'll be difficult to know for sure.

It looks like this Valens https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces304237.html

Or this Valentinianus I https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces191179.html
