I'm thinking maybe Roman Republic, based on the style of the hands. Might be too small though.

Evening, Joe.
Clearly not a coin. If ancient, I suspect it might fall into the general category of bronze appliques.

Bob, I learned something new. What were these used for? Like on a broach or pin of some type?

TC, "applique" is a general term that dealers use for decorative metal fittings/trinkets - used for containers, doors, horse bridles, bronze drinking vessels, armor, etc. There wasn't one specific usage...if you do an image search on a term like "Roman applique" you'll probably see all sorts.

@lks, you should know better than to directly challenge @bobL's sleuthing skills. The dude is simply unstoppable.  "If you climb a good tree, you get a push."

Spence,
Bob's first link was dead on for this. Amazing and you are correct Bob is that good so even though I am sure he is quarantined from college teaching right now, he has not slacked off a bit, sharp as ever!
