Fun design, @Collecting Nut! Some people catch the campgate bug and they go deep, deep, DEEP into their varieties, mints, and such.

My first -- or among the first -- campgate I acquired was this one. I've had it some 25 years or so:


Constantine II as Caesar, AD 317-337.
Roman Æ Centenionalis, 3.86 gm, 18.2 mm.
Heraclea, AD 327-329.
Obv: CONSTANTINVS IVN NOB C, laureate, draped and cuirassed bust, right.
Rev: PROVIDENT-IAE-CAESS, campgate with two turrets, no doors; star above. Dot left field; SMHЄ in exergue.
Refs: RIC 96; RCV 17241; Cohen 164.

 

Here is my Campgate.

I have at least one more but will have to look. I like the Campgates and the ones posted on this thread are great.

 

If you have one more than you will have North, South, East and West covered. Lol

There are some mighty pretty camp gate coins shown here. Thanks all for posting them.

 

I have a bunch now, but ironically my first remains my best.

Can't go wrong with Mullet Monday

 

I was luck enough to buy part of a collection of Arles campgates a couple of years back. They were a mix of standard campgate and the open-door types of Constantine the Great and Constantine II.

Here is small sample from the group:-

 

The open doors also come for Constantius II.

 

Thank you for your interesting post, @Collecting Nut .
