who is this?

found an old button/pin about the size of a quarter. it is dented as if it was struck by a lawnmower blade. my question is, does anyone know who this guy is? he does look quite familiar to me and I'm thinking he a roman figure. anyone?

Neat find! He looks Roman to me too. Not sure who he is but here is another of the same button:

It's Alexander the great, after the conqouest of Egypt. The small ram's horns signify his demigod status as son of the Egyptian god Amun.
