    Sellers pics only at the moment. In hand this is Gorgeous with a capital G. I have waited for ages for a Doors Open coin. The silvering is absolutely great which is icing on the cake.

    Wow, CRISP! Nice capture Pish!!!

    I only a few campgates in my collection since I am not really a Roman Empire collector, and they are not the best grade...

    Another nice one PP. I only have a very poor campgate with doors. I need an upgrade.

    Pish, That's a wonderful coin!!!

    For one reason or another, I keep putting off purchasing the camp-gate series.

    The reverse of your Romulus coin is actually a domed shrine or temple. What may be the building portrayed on your coin is still standing.

    Oh yeah! Mea Culpa! Thanks for the correction Victor! I was looking at my database reply and saw lines like a fort, and did not really pay attention. Error resolved. :)
