Constantine I campgates from Antioch with Δ- E workshop

[Victor]

I just got a small group of silvered campgates, all from Eastern mints. There were some nice examples of
the use of Δ- E for workshop 9, instead of Θ, which some people at the time considered the symbol of death

The draped and cuirassed bust is rarer of the two.
