This one had me a little puzzled. I had the hardest time reading the MM. I think I got it SMANT Epsilon. I have been thru many sites @Victor_Clark site I looked twice and also found some great information. That's a wonderful addition to Wildwind's Thanks! It is the closest to RIC Vll Antioch 63 This one has a dot in the doorway. Constantine I A.D. 325- 326 Ӕ nummus 19x19mm 3.1g CONSTAN-TINVS AVG; diademed head right. PROVIDEN-TIAE AVGG; campgate, two turrets, no doors, star above, dot in doorway. In ex. SMANT Epsilon.
Yes, you have it right with Antioch 63. Lots of campgates have mystery dots. Sometimes these are left over from the engraving process and other times they were probably used as some sort of internal workshop control. Constantine is laureate on this issue though. I had the description listed on my page as diademed by mistake-- due to lazy copy and paste.
So, Victor were the dots used as a control of the die face? You said that dots appear in different areas of the die face. Where does the dot come from?
