Roman coin - if so what?

Is this a Roman coin, possibly a nummus? It is copper alloy. If so, any idea of the emperor featured on it? I've looked at a lot of pictures but can't see one that obviously matches.

Thanks for that. I've looked at some examples of the emperors you mention and can see a similarity.

By a zap do you mean an ultrasonic clean?
