Description
This stamp highlights the Althiburos site, located near Dahmani in the Kef governorate. An ancient Numidian and then Roman city, Althiburos is famous for its well-preserved remains, notably its theater and its capitol. The visual presents a row of ancient arcades which testify to the grandeur of Roman urban planning in North Africa. By devoting this program to a site less known than Carthage or El Jem, Tunisia highlights the richness of its hinterland and the immensity of its archaeological heritage, inviting you to discover the deep history of the northwest plateaus.
