No other guesses so far. This one is difficult because there is a lot of detail, but I give it another shot before the clue. Victorinus?

Clue:
The Roman City of Antioch was captured during this emperor's reign.

Well... I have no Roman coins to photograph. Is it OK for me to find a picture online?

OK, hope this is kosher. I browsed the history of various emperors/esses and picked one truly strange ranger. Modified picture from Heritage's auction archives. I'll post appropriate photo credits/link when the answer is guessed.

Not Geta. Like all of the others, he looks very different from coin to coin. Frankly, I don't know how you guys and gals are guessing any of these without big hints.
For the last one, I narrowed it down to three based on the crown, forehead, and profile and would have bet money that my first guess was right. But I had a backup guess that I was sure of if #1 was incorrect. Neither were right.
I have an oblique hint ready to roll if it seems too hard.
