This definitive stamp (Postes) highlights Lebanon's historical engineering and archaeological wealth by showcasing the Roman-era Aqueduct of Zubaida (Aqueduc de Zebaïdé), spanning the Beirut River valley. The detailed rose-red engraving illustrates the massive stone arches of the ancient water channel standing resiliently amidst wild valley shrubbery. This composition carries a profound message of historical endurance, infrastructural legacy, and cultural preservation. Issued by the Lebanese Republic, the design integrates daily postal communication with an ancient monument to showcase the deep historic roots of the nation's regional infrastructure.
