Egyptian Pharaoh Cleopatra Commemorated with Stamps The Egyptian Ministry of Communications and Information Technology has issued a set of commemorative stamps honoring the most famous female ruler of Ancient Egypt, Cleopatra VII. The set includes four stamps and a first-day cover featuring the image of the last Ptolemaic queen of Egypt. The stamps depict Cleopatra in four different styles, including a relief of the queen in a traditional Egyptian dress, a portrait in a royal Egyptian style, an image of Cleopatra in a Roman-style dress, and a painting of the queen with her son, Caesarion. The stamps were released to coincide with World Post Day and will be available for purchase at the Egyptian Post Office. The stamps are part of the “Egyptian Pharaohs” series, which honors the ancient rulers of Egypt.
