The condition is mediocre, but it has a dot in the bottom of the doorway; which is a variety not mentioned in RIC. Very nice!

Lots more eye candy, even for a guy who doesn't collect ancients. Can't really think of a medieval equivalent. The chatel tournois is so stylized it doesn't really compare.

Victor Pillar of the Community United States 900 Posts	Posted 04/15/2026 2:14 pm I just upgraded my "eyes to heavens" campgate and what is neat is that it is a coin that I sold 13 years aga and always regretted it a bit. I saw it for sale today and quickly bought it. Constantine I A.D. 328-9 19mm 2.8g CONSTAN-TINVS AVG; diademed head, looking up to Heavens. PROVIDEN-TIAE AVG; campgate with two turrets and star above. In exergue SMK delta dot RIC VII Cyzicus 57 I also recently added this example from Rome; which has a workshop that is not listed in RIC, though several are known. Constantine I A.D. 318- 319 19mm 3.4g CONST-ANTINVS AVG; cuirassed bust right wearing laureate helmet. VIRTVS AVGG; campgate with no doors and three turrets; across fields P-R In ex.

Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures Report this Post to the Staff
