Constantine II, AE3, 324-325, Trier, Officina 2 CONSTANTINVS IVN NOB C Laureate, cuirassed bust right VIRTVS-CAESS Campgate with six rows, two turrets, no doors, star above, top and bottom rows empty blocks STR in exergue 18mm x 20mm, 2.29g RIC VII, -- Ex Keith Metzer Collection, September 2003 Note: Within footnotes on p. 205 in RIC, there are a number of VIRTVS AVGG and CAESS campgates described, but calls them "barbarous" as per Maurice referencing the Staatliche Museen zu Berlin collection, and no examples were available when RIC was written. This piece appears to be an official mint issue, based on style and the flan is as one would expect from a regular campgate issue, even in this slightly corroded condition.
