Again, and again thanks to John, I have got the stamp (and postcard!) I like the most from a wonderful set: Romain Britain. It features the ancient Roman lighthouse in Dover, which is the tallest surviving Roman building in Britain.
So, two of my passions in this piece of mail: ancient Rome and lighthouses. Plus, I was actually there in 2004. Nice memories!
As a curiosity, there is a mistake on the stamp. Can you spot it?
While preparing this post, more stamps from this set arrived. Along from a 2003 stamp featuring Alexander the Great (belonging to this set):

Someone got tired before the end of the build.
ReplyDeleteThose are nice big stamps
Very nice!
DeleteI love Roman Britain, too. The new set is very nice - I had no idea they built stone lighthouses.
ReplyDeleteI think few Roman lighthouses stands nowadays. This is a nice site.
