This stamp highlights the international campaign to safeguard the archaeological site of Carthage, launched under the aegis of UNESCO in order to protect a major heritage of Mediterranean and universal history. The illustration combines ancient, maritime and architectural elements in a symbolic composition that evokes the historical depth of Carthage, a crossroads of civilizations and a space for dialogue between Punic, Roman and African cultures. The graphic references to the sea recall the fundamental role of Carthage in trade and ancient maritime power, while the modern artistic language highlights the urgency of preservation in the face of contemporary threats. In the Tunisian context, this stamp affirms national and international responsibility in the protection of archaeological heritage, placing Tunisia as a central actor in the safeguarding of historical memory and the transmission of cultural heritage which underpins its identity and cultural influence.
