[QUOTE="lrbguy, post: 3594717, member: 88829"]Thanks for starting this thread Curtissimo. Nice open door from Arles. I hope your suggestion creates something. I started a specialized collection of the Constantinian campgates in the late 1980s, and by about 2000 started adding other gate material. It is still an active collection, to which I added new material just a few weeks ago. I'm not particularly interested in the speculative questions about the so-called "turrets," but I am very interested in carrying the work of Patrick Bruun into a new generation of discovery. I was hoping that this thread might bring together people here with SERIOUS interest in the Campgates who wish to start a discussion that is more than just a show-and-tell session gone in a flash. In addition to the gates on argenti here are some more alternatives to the Constantinian gates. Provincial Gates: [ATTACH=full]960979[/ATTACH] Bosporus AE29 - Sauromates I - 95-124 AD/CE Plotinopolis AE28 - Septimius Severus - 193-211 Augusta Traiana AE30 - Caracalla - 198-217 Roman Imperial gates (pre-Constantinian) The argentei have been represented, [ATTACH=full]960980[/ATTACH] Emerita (Spain) denarius under Augustus - a military retirement center Cyzikus - Follis under Galerius - immediate precursor to the Constantinian bronzes If anyone wants to venture into a more detailed look there are some interesting varieties on the campgates, not all of which are known generally by collectors. For example: [ATTACH=full]960983[/ATTACH] Many folks have seen the striated base gates from Siscia, but how many know that this variety comes in three flavors in variance with the dot styles in the top layer of bricks on the gate? The one I show here I call "Siscia gate reverse type VII."[/QUOTE]
