This looks like a Copy of a Roman Double header, the legend looks wrong, if you can post a better picture of the legends, we might be able to ID what it's copying.
You do get genuine Roman Double Headers, but this looks like a Fake or Copy :-\

i have been told its a reproduction usually sold in museum shops and is made of pewter but im still happy with it and i will keep looking for the real deal ;D
 

Look at the side of the coin and if you see a fine raised line going all the way around the coin it's a fake because that means it was made with a modern mold
 

just had a look at the edge and theres nothing there just slight differences in thickness as i move the coin around

Technically a 'Fantasy piece' as it is not copying a known type.

A few details from Cru'dad:

'Looks like Nero and Agrippina Junior but there is no actual coin with that Obv and the Rev shown in the post. '
 

could be from one of those monthly collection magazines :dontknow:
