LOL! Could be, they were both monsters.
I took another look at the picture. Yeahhhh, that's pretty unidentifiable, isn't it? I bought it for the reverse.
So here's a hint which will easily lead to the correct answer: his given name at birth was Varius.

now that a cool coin, dig that reverse. ok, how about this one I just picked up out of the bargian bin...doens't have the guys picture on it, but should be prtty easy. this is kind of a famous ancient coin type. you can see a couple letters of his name....he was a king, not a roman emperor.
