Can anyone please help ID this ancient Roman coin? 2.56g weight, 20mm diameter. No visible words/letters that I can make out.

Yikes. Not too much remaining detail. Is that a bearded, bare-headed portrait facing right in the first picture or just some Pareidolia on my part?

The groove with debris in it makes me assume it's a lead seal, rather than a coin.

I think it is most likely Aurelian (270- 275 A.D.) with a reverse of ROMAE AETER Aurelian, standing right before Roma, helmeted, draped, seated left on shield, holding spear in right hand and Victory in left hand

compare with this example--
