Croatia

Date of Issue: 9th May 2025

two stamps (2x 1.70 €)


both stamps are issued sheets of 12 stamps

stamp 1 - At the foot of the southern slopes of a small mountain, today called Kozjak, in a fertile valley through which flows a bountiful river, today's Jadro, and along the gentle coast of the sea bay, man has lived since early history. Salona developed as a Delmatian port, and in addition to the Delmatians and the Greeks of Issus, it became interesting to Roman merchants and soldiers.

stamp 2 - Certainly the most famous find and symbol of the Vučedol culture is a vessel in the shape of a bird, commonly known as the Vučedol Dove. This vessel is undoubtedly an example of the craftsmanship of a ceramist with a refined artistic talent, but also an important religious symbol.
