Theodosius I GLORIA REIPVBLICE campgate with consular bust

[Victor]

This AE3 consular bust issue was probably issued to commemorate the consulship of Theodosius in A.D. 388. RIC rates this coin as merely scarce but I would say they are at least rare, if not very rare. The first picture was from Ebay, the second is mine.

A.D. 384- 388

GLORIA REI-PVBLICE, campgate with two turrets, Chi-Rho between them. In left field B.

Dumbarton Oaks dates this issue to A.D. 385 because of the consular dress.
