Commentary


La classe III a un revers comparable à celui de la classe II, mais avec une tête à droite. Les croissant laissent la place à un gros annelet pointé devant la bouche, entouré de deux ou trois plus petits annelets.
Cet exemplaire présente une très belle tête complète avec les annelets en bord de flan autour.
Class III has a backhand comparable to Class II, but with a right-handed head. The crescents give way to a large ringlet pointed in front of the mouth, surrounded by two or three smaller ringlets. This example presents a very beautiful complete head with ringlets on the edge of the flan around

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).
