Description
CONSTANTINE I. 307-337 AD. Æ Follis (19mm - 2.67 g). Imitative Issue, copying Trier. CONSTAN-TINVS AVG, laureate head right / PROVIE-TAE CESS, camp-gate with no doors and two turrets, star above; DTR (pellet in crescent). RIC -. VF, brown patina, rough obverse.
From the Zachary "Beast" Beasley Collection of Camp Gates.
A fascinating little coin. The obverse style is almost correct for Trier but the reverse is highly unusual and interesting. There is an arch like device between the two turrets, the bricks are made from diagonal lines, not nice square bricks, and there are two smaller arches on each side of the large central arch. Neat.
