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.

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.
