<p>[QUOTE=&quot;lrbguy, post: 2884902, member: 88829&quot;]Here&#039;s an interesting gate that maybe you can help me with.&nbsp; (Except where incomplete, the Greek I can read; that&#039;s not where I need the help.)</p><p>Obverse:</p><p><b>AY K A CE<b>Π</b>&nbsp; CEVHPOC <b>Π</b></b></p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Sep&nbsp; Severos</p><p>(Note the use of a Latin V in his cognomen)</p><p><br /></p><p>Reverse:</p><p><b>HΓE Γ?
