Did anonymous folles also circulate in the southern part of Italian Peninsula and Antiochia?

Southern part of the Italian Peninsula has been under East Romans' rule since the day of Justinian (500’s) until 1000’s. In 1025 this was the border of Byzantine Empire:



Anonymous folles are said to be minted in Constantinople.

So, I am wondering: Did anonymous folles (those Jesus-coins) also circulate in the southern part of Italian Peninsula and/or Antiochia?

Have we ever found hoard of anonymous folles in the south part of Italian Peninsula or in Antiochia?

As usual: I don’t expect an answer, but in case you know the answer, I would be thrilled to be informed. Thanx.

Anonymous folles also circulated in the Magna Grecia region (modern Puglia) as well. Not aware of any hoards, but have seen and owned examples found there.
