PROVIDENTIAE CAESS
campgate
18 mm.
Bust left.

Note for collectors: Commonly known as a "campgate" it might really be a city gate. Some collectors care about different mints and the number of towers (or "beacons", according to Failmezger) on top, and some even care about the number of rows of stones, which can vary from 6 to 16.  Another difference of interest is the doorway. Is a door visible? Is it open?
