| Beschrijving keerzijde | Bare head of Poseidon facing right, with thick, wavy hair and a short beard rendered in a vigorous late Hellenistic style. A trident rests over the god's left shoulder, serving as an attribute identifying the deity. The ethnic legend ΕΛΑΤΕΩΝ is disposed in the field around the portrait, attesting to the civic authority of Elatea in Phokis. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Elatea, the principal city of Phocis, had lost much of its strategic importance after its brutal sack by Philip II of Macedon in 338 BC — an event so alarming to Athens that Demosthenes famously described the city's terror upon hearing the news. By the late Republican period when this bronze was struck, the city was a shadow of its former self, minting small civic bronzes more out of civic habit than economic necessity, under the loose administrative umbrella of Roman provincial oversight in Achaia.
