This Constantius II campgate just sold for 118 euros. I didn't bid, but was watching it. There was a lot of interest because of the dots. It has dots in the top and bottom rows of the campgate and dotted borders and door. Otherwise it is a nice but common example of Siscia 203.   18mm   3.6g

Hi Victor,

I managed to get that one (after losing out on a few interesting ones the last few weeks...). Went for a bit higher than I hoped but it was in a good condition. Funnily enough, there is another stylistically almost identical one that has been on sale for some time. Not a die match but definitely the same engraver, even down to the slightly skew topline.

The other example still for sale is 19mm, 3.45g.

I immediately recognized the seller from the photo. It's no surprise he is asking far too much money -- $400.
