It's been recently found in former Jugoslavia (ancient Macedonia). IMHO it's Roman but I'm still in doubt. And whose face it might be? Appreciate any suggestion! Thank you!

If it is (and it looks like it) that's a killer ID :icon_thumleft:
Thanks Mike :icon_thumleft: it doe's look like him, and the period fits :read2:

ALARIC (Ala-reiks, "All-ruler"), (c. 370-410), Gothic conqueror, the first Teutonic leader who stood as a conqueror in the city of Rome, was probably born about 370 in an island named Peuce (the Fir) at the mouth of the Danube. He was of noble descent, his father being a scion of the family of the Balthi or Bold-men, next in dignity among Gothic warriors to the Amals. He was a Goth and belonged to the western branch of that nation --sometimes called the Visigoths--who at the time of his birth were quartered in the region now known as Bulgaria, having taken refuge on the southern shore of the Danube from the pursuit of their enemies the Huns.
