This stamp commemorates Lebanon's unparalleled classical antiquity and deep historical layered identity by illustrating the monumental Roman temple sanctuary at Baalbeck. The design highlights the iconic remaining pillars of the Temple of Jupiter and the grand stonework of the surrounding acropolis rising above the regional vegetation of the Bekaa Valley.
