Your introduction is quite Shakespearian ! 
Style OK
Surface OK
Patina OK
Weight OK
No sign of casting is obvious to my eye.
Have a close look at the edge with a loupe, but so far, I am thinking that edge will be OK as well.
Also have a close look at the metal below the bust truncation. I have not formed any opinion in my mind about that yet.
Almost all of my mind so far says genuine, but you are like me, and always ask the question. I think that is always good discipline to have.
It is a nice coin because all of the legend is readable, and all of the design is complete. That is one thing I always look for, with larger Roman bronzes.
