Greece has issued stamps with images of ancient theaters

Antique theaters became the main characters of five new Greek brands. Hellenic Post presented several novelties with images of ruins located in the cities of Dodona, Nicopolis, Kassope, Ambrakia and Gitana. All these cities are part of the historical region of Epirus in the South-East of Europe. According to one version, these lands were the ancestral home of Greek tribes, but in classical Greece (V–IV centuries BC), the inhabitants of Epirus were not recognized as Hellenes.

The size of each brand is 35x45 mm. They can be purchased separately or as a single sheet consisting of 25 stamps. The images were designed by Eleni Apostolou. The cost is from 10 cents to 2.5 euros, the circulation is 1-1. 5 million copies. In addition, themed envelopes with the image of the theater were sold. All postal products are available at post offices in Greece until April 2022, unless sold out earlier.
