[QUOTE="Victor_Clark, post: 7754064, member: 10613"]I object to your objection...in fact I find it very objectionable :) The reason I note it, is because maybe, just maybe, it is more than a remnant of the engraving process. I have also looked at a lot of Constantinople campgates and not noticed an example before. there are lots of campgates with dots and they can't all be centering dots. here is a coin with dot in bottom of doorway and dot in arch over brick. the dot in brick is smaller...maybe a centering dot...but I note both dots. [ATTACH=full]1328163[/ATTACH] here's one with a dot in doorway and one in brick over arch on either side. [ATTACH=full]1328164[/ATTACH] info in RIC about Rome dots, though some may be merely centering dots. [ATTACH=full]1328169[/ATTACH] Antioch campgates have fat dots in archways...are they centering dots? [ATTACH=full]1328170[/ATTACH] plenty of other examples out there. So, if I am completely sure it is a centering dot, I don't mention, otherwise I make note.[/QUOTE]
