Pallas (Oct 2010)
A two-sided cornelian intaglio from Thurleigh, Bedfordshire, England
Abstract
This note describes a double sided gem showing on one side an armed youth and on the other a thunderbolt and discusses the circumstances by which a gem, certainly not a Magical Amulet, came into being. The stone is of significance for the history of provincial glyptics and a pointer to local workshop practice in Britain and Gaul.
