FWIW, I do not have a single campgate in my collection.

One will speak to me eventually.

 

My first ancients proudly bear ex. medoraman in their attribution.

The only one I have a picture of (this will soon be remedied):


Constantine I, AD 306 - 337
AE3, 2.95g, 19mm; 5h; Thessalonica mint
Obv.: CONSTAN-TINUS AVG; laureate head right
Rev.: PROVIDEN-TIAE AVGG; campgate, 6 layers, no doors, two turrets, star above, dot in right field
In Ex.: SMTSA
Ref.: Thessalonica RIC VII 153

Anyone mind discussing "city gates?" I was browsing camp gates and discovered a type described as city gate, they look like a castle. Here's an example FORVM has for sale:

Nice!!!

 

EXCELLENT camp-gate examples Randy---far better than the example or two I have...

 

They are being well taken care of.
