2024Archaeological Treasure - First Day Cover

A national monument and one of the most beautiful late-antique buildings in Bosnia and Herzegovina is Mogorjelo (Čapljina). This unique archaeological monument is a well-preserved ancient Roman villa rustica (a centre of landed property) built by an immigrated Italic in the middle of the 1st century. The building likely burned down in a fire. In the 4th century, a 102 x 86 m rectangular-shaped Roman fortress with corner towers was built on the same site.
