If you want to get a campgate from Sirmium it has to be Constantius II. Constantine I had SARMATIA DEVICTA and Crispus and Constantine II had ALAMANNIA DEVICTA. So Constantius alone appeared on the campgates.
Constantius II
A.D. 324- 325
Ӕ nummus 18mm 3.3g
FL IVL CONSTANTIVS NOB C; Laureate, draped and cuirassed bust left.
PROVIDENTIAE CAESS; campgate with two turrets and ✶ between them.
in ex. SIRM
RIC VII Sirmium 53

Yes...and I quess that I am happy :-\
It is a superb example though and I really wanted it for my campgate collection. The last example I had was, in dealer talk, "collector grade" (when you just have to have an example) and I eventually sold it.

Another euphemism to be careful of is "From the collection of a scholar", i.e. chipped damaged or otherwise broken
