[Louvre museum webpage for the bust.](https://collections.louvre.fr/en/ark:/53355/cl010091831) It bears a strong resemblance to the “Vitellius of Grimani”, also once thought to depict the emperor. And yes, the comparison to Tony Soprano has been made before.
It does look exactly like Vitellius I would have been fooled
