Arcadius GLORIA REIPVBLICE campgate variation...windows
« on: November 04, 2013, 02:52:22 PM »
This reverse variation is not listed in RIC, but I have seen examples for each ruler that issued this type. This coin is a variation because of what looks like a second story with two windows.

Arcadius
A.D. 384- 388
DN ARCADIVS PF AVG; pearl-diademed, draped and cuirassed bust right.
GLORIA REIPVBLICE; campgate with windows and two turrets gamma in left.
In ex. TES
RIC IX Thessalonica 62 variation

Congrats.
I was also watching it but got busy with other things so I forgot to post my bid.

Hi Victor,

New user on the site. Here is my example of a Valentinian II campgate with two arches.

Obverse: D N VALENTINIANS P F AVG, diademed draped & cuirassed bust right
Reverse: GLORIA REI-PVBLICE, campgate with two turrets, 6 layers, 2 arches in 4th layer, TES in exergue, Possible A in left field.
Weight: 0.6 g
Diameter: 12 mm

I am still on the lookout for a Theodosius as I have an Arcadius as well. It would be nice to have one for every emperor.

Welcome Tjaart.

This stylistic variation makes me think to Trier Porta Nigra in a simpler design (according to crude style of these issues).

another example with windows

RIC states that gamma workshop is Arcadius and exceptions are rare.
