Wrong guesses so far:

Carinus
Gordian III
Philip I
Caracalla
Probus
Maximinus I Thrax
Aurelian
Ant. Pius
Carus
Diocletian.

This is not a hint per se, but this guy's nose looked very different in some other profiles. It was much smaller in many of them, so nose shape/size is probably not going to be much help.

Thanks, like Martin said the portrait is from an Alexandrian potin tetradrachm and they really did start looking the same by the time of Diocletian's reform.

Here is my portrait. I hope it isn't too easy. This coin just arrived today for me and I got a really good deal on it to boot!
