I believe that is Gallienus. If you want a full attribution, let me know.

I agree Gallienus. Interesting bust type.

The GALLI is quite clear, so yes Gallienus.

The odd bust style is due to dropping standards at the mint - it got so bad in Gallienus' reign that some official issues are no better than the contemporary barbaric issues. Of course, skilled craftsmen were still around and the occasional armoured bust comes through in good style.
