2025 Europa - National Archaeological Discoveries

The traditional EUROPA-themed issue has, for the year 2025, the assigned topic: National Archaeological Discoveries. In collaboration with specialists in the fields of history and archaeology, for the postage stamps issue that will be released on into circulation by Romfilatelia, Tuesday, April 29th this year, and composed of two postage stamps, a First day Cover, a perforated souvenir sheet, and a special philatelic folder in a limited edition, three artefacts displayed in the exhibition spaces of the Museum of Dacian and Roman Civilisation in the town of Deva have been selected. Dating from the 2nd–3rd centuries AD, a period marked by the Roman colonisation of Dacia, the artefacts are regarded as unique pieces of exceptional historical value.

The postage stamps feature images of objects discovered during archaeological excavations at Ulpia Traiana Sarmizegetusa (the capital of the Roman province of Dacia) in 1973, and in the eastern necropolis of Vețel Township, Hunedoara County, in 1967. The exhibits depicted are titled Medusa the Gorgon (on the stamp with the face value of Lei 5) and The Abduction of Europa by Zeus transformed into a bull (on the stamp with the face value of Lei 25).
