Very clear portrait, doesn't look Roman, could be a provincial issue though.
But being posted by you I'll guess it would be from another region.
Will do some while I walk the dog.

Let me not forget: "Happy New Year" since all posters have made it across by now.

Very nice coin, looks like a Valentine's Day issue - seems to be a couple kissing in the doorway.
