Wobbly Campgates

I love a wobbly campgate. I bought a batch of 12 campgates for a Flavius Victor. There are a number of culls, but a couple of nice coins.

This one is Arcadius. Post your wobbly campgates.

Wobbly... or leaning to pert'near falling over...

RI Flavius Victor 384-388 CE AE4 14mm 1-8g Aquileia Camp Gate Star SMAQS RIC IX 55b-2 LRBC1104 O-R.JPG

 

Ooh, nice... I love these wobbly, ramshackled campgates and have always wanted to pick up a few. Thanks for the reminder!

Perhaps only slightly wobbly, but you could surf on that wavy top layer...


MAGNUS MAXIMUS
AE4. 0.9g, 14mm. Arles mint, AD 383-388. RIC 29a. O: D N MAG MAXI-MVS P F AVG, diademed, draped and cuirassed bust right. R: SPES RO-MA-NORVM, campgate with 5 layers, 2 turrets, star between; SCON in exergue.

 

That's a beauty PP.

 

nice wobbly campgate pish...i've had the one of those on my list for 2 years now!

 

Nice pick up Pishpash, they fascinate me how they kept the Constantine type camp-gates going for another 100 plus years, I would't mind seeing some of the others you got Pishpash as I have been contemplating collecting a few different camp gates from Constantine on wards, as of now I don't have any.

 

here's an Arcadius, same as the first coin, except with windows, leaning a bit to the left



Arcadius
A.D. 384- 388
13x14mm 1.5gm
DN ARCADIVS P F AVG; pearl-diademed, draped and cuirassed bust right.
GLORIA REI-PVBLICE; campgate with windows and two turrets; Γ in left.

RIC IX Thessalonica 62c var.

 

Campgates are pretty cool - I am interested in the minor variations of the camp gates.

 

Victor, that is a stunner! I hoped for windows in my lot of twelve, alas and a lack!

 

I need the Windows as well.

 

Here is an unidentified Theodosius I

 

And a Magnus Maximus

 

An unknown

 

Perhaps my wobbliest:


Constantine I, AD 306 - 337
AE3, 2.95g, 19mm; 5h; Thessalonica mint
Obv.: CONSTAN-TINUS AVG; laureate head right
Rev.: PROVIDEN-TIAE AVGG; campgate, 6 layers, no doors, two turrets, star above, dot in right field
In Ex.: SMTSA

 

CARACALLA
AE30
OBVERSE: M AΥT AΥΡHΛ - ANTΩNEINOΣ, Laureated head right
REVERSE: AΥΓOΥΣTHΣ - TΡAIANHΣ, Gate camp, flanked by two towers, a third view back to the center
Struck at Augusta Traiana, Thrace 211-17 AD
30.02mm, 14.24g
Varbonov1099

 

Wow Bing, now THAT's a campgate.

 

Very cool Bing! I must add one of these Caracalla city gates to my collection. Like Sallent, for some reason I have a soft spot for the guy. My city gate:


Diadumenian, AD 217-218
AE, 28mm, 11.4g; 12h; Nikopolis ad Istrum
Obv.: K M OΠΕΛ ΔΙΑΔΟUMENIANOC AV; draped bust right
Rev.: UΠ ΑΓΡΙΠΠΑ NIKOΠΟΛΙΤΩΝ ΠΡΟC ICTΠ; city gate with three crenulated towers

 

Great coin Bing that type are my favorite, I have a worn Septimus Severus City gate here tat is a little bit different it seems to have a second story with windows, Nikopolis Ad Istrum AE 27, 13.39gm, Moushmov 931.

 

Stunning Jwt. Oh for a time machine and a bag of gold

 

Wow AA. A time machine and TWO bags of gold
