Looking for emperor ID

I bought some time ago this Alexandria AE with a lovely reverse, but cannot identify the emperor's portrait on the obverse. Any suggestion would be welcome.

My suggestion would be : try Diocletian (I seem to read ΔΙΟΚ)

Q

 

Definitely Diocletian.

Potin tetradrachm, CE 284/5
Obv: the legend, if fully visible, would be AKΓOVAΛΔIOKΛHTIANOCCEB; bust right
Rev: Eusebia standing left; altar; LA in left field (year 1)
Ref: Emmett 4052.1

 

Yep, Diocletian. Here's one from my collection for comparison.
