Camp Gate Reverse of Constantine I

Though this coin is pitted from corrosion and many fine details are now gone, the powerful portrait of this emperor still shows clearly through the damage.

This type of AE3 with camp gate reverse was struck during the reigns of Constantine I and his sons Crispus, Constantine II, Constans, and Constantius II.

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.
