Roman coin [Risolto]

I've found this coin and I would like to identify it and know it's approximate price. It is around 2, 7 centimeters in diameter, so it's probably dupondius or sestertius. It has coin alignment.

Also, should I try to clean it?

You should be experimented to scrape this dupondius in olive oil, and have the right tool.

I don't think that this is the exact match. My obverse is destroyed, but still I think that I can see a chunky neck head like those of Vitellius or Vespasian.

I would wonder if part of the legend on the left side of the obverse is not *DIVI VES*. In which case you may want to look at RIC II, Part 1 (second edition) Titus 335 or 337. Basically, the head of Domitian, but issued under Titus.

It is very likely that it's one of these. Thank you very much.

How long should it be in oil? It's been sitting there for two days already.

This may take weeks, but I've never done this. All I know is you must get adequate tools.
