This revenue stamp highlights the shared ancient heritage of the Levant by depicting the Monumental Arch and the Great Colonnade of the ancient desert city of Palmyra. The detailed engraving captures the classical Greco-Roman architectural ruins standing resiliently against a desert landscape, beautifully framed within an ornate archway flanked by traditional stalks of wheat. Originally prepared as part of a definitive series for the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan
