    This is without a doubt the smallest campgate I've ever seen.

    I hope someone can help ID the emperor. This specific type of campgate, with no turrets and no star, is not found on Tesorillo, so I could not proceed.

    AE11
    Obv: laurate(?) head right
    Rev: PROVIDENTIAE (?) Campgate. no turret, no star. Gamma in left field.
    Diameter: 11mm

    Possibly Arcadius with a GLORIA REIPVBLICE Reverse.

    What is with Arcadius and making the tiniest coins possible??

    The smallest coins I've ever held have thus far been three Arcadiis

    I've got a few that are even smaller, one is about 8mm (small flan) no legend visible. Then I've got a bunch of fifth century unidentifiables, a couple with monograms on the reverse. Probably struck under the latter emperors of the West.

    Yeah, I have a campgate about 9mm. No mottos, just head of emperor on one side, tiny campgate on the other. They can get tiny...
