radiate - 250 - 300 ad

my 1st reaction is Gallienus, but i'm having trouble with ID'ing the reverse to confirm it.

the reverse suggests VOT  X [the 10th imperial anniversary] ... but that fits in with the constantine period ... so more research needed!

Very nice find, and a bit more unusual than your average Roman.

It's Galerius. The obverse inscription is GAL VAL MAXIMIANVS NOB C, and the reverse is indeed VOT X above T for the mint (Ticinum). The coin dates from 299 AD.

These are similar, but not quite the same bust:
