Need help identifying

Hey people - got an old coin here. Think it may be Roman but correct me if I'm wrong as I do not have a clue to be honest
If you rotate the obverse picture (the smaller one) 1/4 clockwise, you can make out the head facing right. Looks like probably late Roman empire, but it's scaled up pretty thick. I have heard you can soak these old bronze coins in olive oil, sometimes for a few weeks, and they will be a little clearer without losing the patina.

Good luck.
If you can read part of the legend, you can try here:
