Careful cleaning around each letter may make the coin ID-able.

Many exist; even with both heads turned to the right.
Attributes to consider: Both are bearded, yet wear different headgear.

I noticed that, but one beard only appears to be a spear beard but not cheeks and mustache ?

You asked: "Do you know of any two headed bronzes ?"
The answer is yes; and here is an example of one that features Antoninus Pius and Marcus Aurelius. This may not be your exact coin, but I believe it's the right two monarchs.

CYPRUS. Koinon of Cyprus. Antoninus Pius, with Marcus Aurelius as Caesar, 138-161. AE (Bronze, 33 mm, 24,4g, ), circa 147-161
