Camp Gate Reverse of Licinius I

This type of AE3 with camp gate reverse was struck during the reigns of Licinius I and Licinius II as well as during the reigns Constantine I and his sons. The mintmark indicates that this example was struck at Heracleia. The first letter of the mintmark is difficult to make out, but the HT stands for the city of Heracleia.

The camp gate device alluded to the strength of the Roman army and the protection it afforded the Roman people against attack by foreign invaders.
