The Lion Salakta mosaic

Dedicated to the famous Mosaic of the Lion of Salakta (Sullectum), this stamp pays tribute to the know-how of Tunisian mosaicists, whose works adorn the greatest museums in the world. This lion, represented with striking realism, symbolizes both the strength and artistic refinement of the Roman era in Tunisia. The message promotes the national artistic heritage, making mosaic — “stone painting” — a central element of Tunisian visual identity and an unwavering link with the classical Mediterranean heritage.
