Old Roman needs ID help

[JCinNJ]

I have gotten pretty good with the Constantine and family era coins but this one may be a little older and I can't figure it out.
Any help appreciated. It's a little larger at about 22mm. Most of the coins I have are more like 17-18mm.

Well I'll take a stab at it. It looks to me a lot like one of the members of the Tetrarchy, Maximian.

Really hard to tell unless you are an expert. There just is not enough detail to be sure. I checked my references and came up with a couple maybes but, I am not sure. The best way to look is, there is a beard, which is not not rare but most do not have them. The bust is pointing right and the crown appears pointed. I can make out IMP, which means he was an emperor. There were lots of them though.

I tend to go along with the idea of being from the era of the Tetrarchy.
Diocletian, one of the four rulers, is my candidate.
