Archaeological excavations of Late Antique structures in Sector V of the Cabyle Archaeological Reserve have been ongoing for more than a decade. In 2024, more than 160 coins were discovered, including a gold solidus of Emperor Valentinian I; they were published last year. Another artefact from these excavations, which demonstrates the commercial connections of the city of Cabyle with other parts of the empire in Late Antiquity, will also be presented.
