In October 2020, a listing of the 109 coins in the

Sbeitla (Sb) hoard was added to this chapter.

Thus, several of the following coins are duplicated

in the Sbeitla listing. Here, the attribution of the

two cross type dekanummia (MIBE 201) to

Constantina does not follow either DOC or MIBE.

They were likely struck from 553 onwards.
