Let's agree to disagree on the numbering.  Based on your hints, there is only one left to guess at: Diocletian? |

No not Diocetian. Hint- he was born in Gaul . A fun fact about this Emperor , he would go very far inland then order seafood ,he did this on purpose and this would cost loads of denarii to the fisherman and mule drivers . Second he would hold lavish parties near big cities but invite no one but himself and a few guards . So yeah he was sadistic.

Seems the beard has worn down on this coin with radiate crown, can only think of one who matches the other criteria
Caracalla?

This Emperor would also laugh at everyone's wrong guesses  It's Caracalla.  |

Fun fact on sea food:
The Romans transported fresh oysters from Normandy/Brittany to Rome in 'refrigeration' carts (loaded with ice, cut from the glaciers in the Alpes).
You go ahead and post another one, bed-time for me & you owe us a few.

Though I am Early Republic and Early Empire fan I still love 4th century Roman Siliqua.  |

Valens it is.  Very clipped siliqua that was given to me as a gift.  |
