Flavius Victor AE 4 w/weird campgate
« on: October 04, 2009, 06:12:00 pm »
Hi all;
Just cleaning some uncleans today and came across this little campgate. It is centrally struck on both sides and is on a large flan. It will clean up nice. The problem is that the campgate seems to be arched, not straight as all other ones I have seen. It looks deliberate. Is this normal for Flavius Victor AE 4 campgates? It has 5 layers and a large door.

Hi arizonarobin;
I looked at the ones at the link provided and found 2 examples similar to mine!
BTW nice collection of Stobies at your gallery.

And in this sample of Aquileia with 5 layer, all gate seems arched.

Hi antvwala;
My coin is SMAQ in ex. so the mint is Aquileia. I hope mine turns out as well as your examples.
