Commentary
La classe IV reprend les même types que que la classe III, sans les petit annelets secondaire devant le visage, mais d’un style de plus en plus mauvais et sur des flans qui s'élargissent énormément. Mais le coin, particulièrement de droit, s’élargit encore plus, d’où des types souvent très incomplets.
Cet exemplaire a un annelet pointé complet devant le visage au droit.
Class IV uses the same types as class III, without the small secondary ringlets in front of the face, but of an increasingly poor style and on sides which widen enormously. But the corner, particularly of the law, widens even more, resulting in often very incomplete types. This example has a complete pointed ringlet in front of the face on the right

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).
