It has been said that this is a portrait of the Emperor Gallienus, but this cannot be true.  We must also reject the suggestion that it is an effigy of Macrinus, who, according to the author Dion Cassius, was respoinsible for instigating the assassination of Caracalla and then became emperor from April 217 to June 218. Neither his hooked nose nor the cut of his beard correspond to Macrinus' profile, known from stamped coins.

About the author:
Musée Saint-Raymond
Musée Saint-Raymond (in English, Saint-Raymond museum) is the archeological museum of Toulouse, opened in 1892. The site originally was a necropolis, and in later constructions was a hospital for the poor and pilgrims, prison, student residence, stables, barracks and presbytery, eventually becoming a museum in 1891. It is housed in the former Saint-Raymond university college dating from the sixteenth century that borders Basilica of Saint-Sernin.
