Description
This stamp represents the archaeological site of Haïdra (ancient Ammaedara), located in the governorate of Kasserine, near the Algerian border. The illustration shows the Arch of Septimius Severus, one of the most emblematic monuments of this ancient city which was one of the largest Byzantine fortresses in Africa. This site bears witness to the transition between the Roman era and the Christian era, with its monumental basilicas. The stamp highlights the strategic position of Haidra throughout the centuries and celebrates the durability of these stone structures which have withstood time, symbolizing the historical stability of the region.
