背面描述	Laureate head of Apollo facing right, rendered in the compact, somewhat summary style typical of small Hellenistic civic bronzes. The god's hair is bound with a laurel wreath, and the facial features—including a straight nose, slightly parted lips, and a well-defined chin—are rendered with moderate detail. The neck is truncated cleanly at the bottom of the design, with the surrounding field largely plain.

附加信息	Elateia was the principal city of Phocis and a strategic strongpoint controlling the main pass through which any army moving from northern Greece into Attica had to travel — a fact Demosthenes famously dramatized in his speech when news of Philip II's capture of the city sent Athens into panic in 339 BC. By the time these bronzes were struck, Elateia had passed through Macedonian, Aetolian, and finally Roman hands, with Flamininus defeating Philip V at Cynoscephalae in 197 BC reshaping the entire political structure of central Greece. HGC 4#1143 is among the terminal issues of an independent civic coinage that would effectively cease as Roman administrative dominance rendered local bronze increasingly redundant.
