Looks more like young Caracalla and what I can read of the legend would fit too.

I read reverse:  :Greek_Alpha: :Greek_Delta: :Greek_Rho: :Greek_Alpha:

that points to:  Adramyteon

I fact , I typed Commodus only for , because I noticed that is it followed by the disappearance of this type of reverse , neither Septimius nor Geta do not have this type anymore.

Pekka K - you are probably right , thanks .
