This stamp highlights the archaeological site of Dougga, one of the most prestigious ancient complexes in Tunisia, through the symbolic representation of an element of theatrical heritage of ancient origin. The illustration evokes the Greco-Roman heritage deeply inscribed in the history of the country, where theater occupied a central place in cultural and civic life.
