approximately 6.16 g and 20 mm

Is the staff with wings called a "caduceus" when it only has wings but no snakes? Does anyone have any idea who the bearded man might be?

Thanks!

Close, but it's actually a trident on the reverse:

I am very impressed! Thanks!

I was afraid that the reverse was so worn that it didn't have enough left to identify.

I have a new place and ruler to learn about so I can understand what part of history I am holding in my hand!

Thanks for your help!

All in all the condition is not bad with much more than enough image to attribute it
Sicilian bronzes are very popular and a good area to collect
You will see some similar with impressive asking prices
But people can ask anything they like
That doesn't mean anyone will pay it !
But Sicilian has a healthy market and plenty of history to make it interesting
