Tunisia announces four stamps depicting the Carthaginian Barca family
Philately NewsLa Poste Tunisienne has announced a four-stamp series for 30 October 2026 devoted to the Carthaginian Barca family: Hamilcar, Hannibal, Hasdrubal and Mago. The announcement was reported on 29 October.

The stamps and associated philatelic products are announced for sale through post offices and online from Friday, 30 October.
