Sur notre exemplaire, nous avons un petit foudre derrière la tête. Ce type avec la tête à gauche semble plus rare.
On our example, we have a little lightning behind the head. This guy with his head on the left seems rarer

Historical background
SICILY - SYRACUSE
(287-278 BC)
Hiketas
Hiketas, strategist, succeeded Agathokles and became tyrant of Syracuse. He defeated Phintias, tyrant of Agrigento, at Hyblaion, but was in turn defeated by the Carthaginians at Terias and expelled from Thonion in 279 BC before being driven out of Syracuse and replaced by Pyrrhus (Diodorus of Sicily , 21, 16, 6; 18.1; 22, 2, 1; 7, 2-3); [KP. 1145, lines 17-49].
