Description
This exceptional stamp pays tribute to the greatest tactician of Antiquity, Hannibal Barca. The portrait engraved by Czesław Słania, based on a drawing by Hatem El Mekki, shows the Carthaginian general in front of the ramparts of Carthage and warships. Hannibal is a leading figure of Tunisian identity, representing the military genius and the greatness of Carthaginian civilization. This stamp reminds us that Tunisia is the heir to one of the most powerful thalassocracies in history, capable of challenging Rome on its own soil.
