Description
This stamp features a photographic view of the site of Thuburbo Majus (near modern-day El Fahs), showing a massive stone arch framing the columns of the Capitol in the distance.
An ancient Punic city that became a Roman colony, Thuburbo Majus bears witness to the agricultural prosperity of ancient Tunisia, then nicknamed the "granary of Rome". The stamp promotes the preservation of this monumental heritage and the anchoring of Tunisia in classical Mediterranean history.
