I hadn't bought myself a campgate in years and then I saw this one in JA's Private Auctions. I have developed a tase for Alexandria imperials and pulled the trigger. I am very happy with it. Constantime the Great - AE3 Obv:– CONSTAN-TINVS AVG; Laureate head right Rev:– PROVIDEN-TIAE AVGG; Camp gate with two turrets, no doors, 7 stone layers, star above Minted in Alexandria (Wreath|B// SMAL).A.D. 327-328 Reference:– RIC VII Alexandria 45 (R2).
Nice looking piece of history. I am getting the itch to get me some ancients I just don't know enough to not get burned yet. Although I have had some help from CT members to point m in the right direction. Keep posting these beauties.

VERY Nice Camp Gate Martin! I only have a couple... I really do not collect Imperials. Roman Imperial Crispus 317-326 CE AE Folles Caesar in Trier Campgate Roman Imperial Flavius Victor 384-388 CE AE4 14mm 1.8g Aquileia Camp Gate Star SMAQS Ref: RIC IX 55b-2 LRBC1104
I have a handful of campgates from a group lot. Many are duplicates so they will become trade fodder. Most were from Antioch but here's one from Alexandria: Constantine I, RIC VII Alexandria 34, SMALB
