Description
This stamp features an emblematic animal of the ancient North African imagination, frequently represented in Roman mosaics discovered in Tunisia. The feline symbolizes strength, vigilance and the close relationship between man and nature in ancient societies. Through this direct reference to ancient art, the stamp promotes Tunisian archaeological heritage and recalls the central role of mosaic as a major artistic expression of Roman Africa. It places Tunisia in a historical continuity where nature, art and culture come together to form a recognized and shared heritage identity.
