Aksumite Numismatic Bibliography: Sales

Sale catalogues up to 1995 are referenced in Munro-Hay S.C. and Juel-Jensen B., Aksumite Coinage, Spink, 1995 (henceforth AC).
The addendum below consists of later catalogues which include a significant number of Aksumite coins. Additions are welcomed.
Catalogues where the Aksumite lots consist entirely or predominantly of gold coins of types included in the al-Madhariba hoard (Ezana Christian to early Kaleb) are marked with @@ (entirely) or @ (predominantly). Lots catalogued by Vincent West are marked with (VW).
