Commentary
La classe IV, l’ultime du monnayage, est typique avec l’utilisation de coins très larges ; les types de droit et de revers ne sont jamais complets. Sur cet exemplaire, le revers est exceptionnel, avec le début de la légende lisible.
Class IV, the ultimate in the coinage, is typical with the use of very wide dies; the obverse and reverse types are never complete. On this example, the reverse is exceptional, with the beginning of the legend legible.

Historical background
GALLIA BELGICA PAGUS CATUSLUGI - Sanctuary of BOIS L'ABBÉ (Seine-Maritime)
(1st century BC)
Already in 1977, S. Scheers evoked the idea of a coinage of Pagus for the type VIIRICIVS (op. cit.p.129-130) which recalls the finds of the sanctuary of Bois l'Abbé in Eu (Seine-Maritime) (LPD. p.32-45) where 161 pieces of the 4 classes were discovered and analyzed. These coins, found in large quantities, doubtless constituted cash with a regional vocation (LPD. 1984, p. 65-92). A plaque found on the spot in 1965, near the theater evokes a pagus Catuslugi already mentioned by Pliny (HN. IV, 31).
