What an awesome campgate. You ever see one of these come up for sale?

 

those are the only two examples that I have seen

 

Probably cost an arm an a leg too.. maybe one day.

 

I wasn't gonna show my crummy old campgate but since everyone else is i might as well
Anither one the needs photo updated.
@Ajax I wanted to point out that it wasn't me who bid you up . But I think ol Victor fessed up
But I do like that Licinius II campgate and its not in my collecting realm, I may have to come up with an excuse to add one.

 

Well I do follow your store. If I see it and have the money to spend,,,,,,,maybe

 

Victor those are two smashingly awesome campgates!!! Very very nice!!

 

Wow, that is one cool campgate. Last time I was in Luxor, Egypt a German archaeological team had just discovered a fortified camp situated next to Luxor temple, from the time of Diocletian. I wonder if the structure is similar. This was only a couple of years ago so the work, based on a google search, has not yet been published in the journals. I believe that excavation is ongoing.

 

Here is the reverse of an Arcadius campgate type from Thessalonica. I believe that was the only mint that issued this reverse type.

Reverse: GLORIA REIPUBLICE
