    @Ajax I wanted to point out that it wasn't me who bid you up :angelic:. But I think ol Victor fessed up :rolleyes:
    But I do like that Licinius II campgate and its not in my collecting realm, I may have to come up with an excuse to add one.

    Wow, that is one cool campgate. Last time I was in Luxor, Egypt a German archaeological team had just discovered a fortified camp situated next to Luxor temple, from the time of Diocletian. I wonder if the structure is similar. This was only a couple of years ago so the work, based on a google search, has not yet been published in the journals. I believe that excavation is ongoing.

    Here is the reverse of an Arcadius campgate type from Thessalonica. I believe that was the only mint that issued this reverse type.

    Reverse: GLORIA REIPUBLICE
