Should I try to photoshop the picture and increase contrast?

With VS CAESAR T on obv. and POTEST ITER on rev., it can't be anybody except Drusus Caesar, for whom the portrait also fits.

Thank you so much!  I also have to thank Forum's "legend search" tool which quickly narrowed down my possibilities.
