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, or earlier catalgues omitted from AC. 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).
