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.Cette note décrit une gemme à double face montrant sur une face un jeune homme armé et sur l’autre un éclair. On s’interroge sur les circonstances dans lesquelles une gemme, certainement pas une Amulette Magique, a pu être fabriquée. La pierre est d’une importance significative pour l’histoire de la glyptique provinciale et un indice révélateur de la pratique des ateliers indigènes de Grande-Bretagne et de Gaule
