<p>[QUOTE="gsimonel, post: 3993826, member: 82549"]Good question. Most campgates of the PROVIDENTIAE type don't have any doors. I don't know why open doors were included on the contemporaneous VIRTVS campgates--there are even some with closed campgates, but those are very rare--unless they were intended to depict something different. Perhaps the PROVENDENTIAE coins are actually city gates? It's a question that has been debated for a long time and will most likely continue to be.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
