EUROMED 2022 - Maritime Archeology of the Medirranean (6/2022)
The Euromed special set of stamps, with a common theme, which for 2022 is Maritime Archaeology of the Mediterranean, is issued every year by Mediterranean countries in the Euromed Postal Community (EuroMed/PUMed). Hellenic Post, inspired by the archaeological wealth of the Greek seas, has chosen to depict the wreck of the Peristera, located in the sea near the island of Alonissos. It is one of the largest shipwrecks of the Classical era, dating from around 425 to 420 BC, and is considered “The Parthenon of Shipwrecks”. The wreck is the first underwater archaeological site that can be visited in Greece, and recreational divers now have the opportunity to explore it.
Hellenic Post is particularly grateful to the Ephorate of Underwater Antiquities for permission to use photographs of the ancient shipwreck (photo: Matteo Collina, Università della Calabria – DIMEG) and amphorae from its cargo (photo: Petros Vezyrtzis) in the design of the stamps.
