- Description:
- Timgad is an ancient Roman city located in the present-day Batna Province of Algeria. It was founded by the Roman Emperor Trajan in AD 100 as a military colony for veterans. The city served as an important hub for commerce and trade and was home to a diverse population of people from different cultures and religions. One of the most impressive structures in Timgad is its capitol, which was the center of political and administrative activities in the city. The capitol was a large, imposing building that housed the offices of the city's magistrates and other officials. It was constructed in the Corinthian order and featured a large portico with columns, a central hall, and several rooms for storage and archives. The capitol of Timgad is considered to be one of the best-preserved examples of Roman architecture in North Africa and was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1982.

- Description:
- The Temple of Septimius Severus in Djemila is a well-preserved ancient Roman temple located in the archaeological site of Djemila, Algeria. The temple was dedicated to the Roman Emperor Septimius Severus and his family, and was built in the early 3rd century AD. It is one of the major attractions of the Djemila archaeological site and a UNESCO World Heritage site.
The 2nd Mediterranean Festival of Timgad was a cultural event held in 1968 in Timgad, Algeria, aimed at promoting Mediterranean culture and fostering cultural exchanges among Mediterranean countries. Djemila, with its ancient Roman ruins, was one of the sites chosen to host events during the festival, hence the issuance of the stamp featuring the Temple of Septimius Severus in Djemila. - Buy Now:
