Romagne
The Romagne, the land of the Romans, was long ago an north eastern extreme of the Roman territory on the Italian peninsula. In the late 1200s it became part of the Papal States. For a short time, in 1500, the illegitimate son of Pope Alexander VI, Cesare Borgia took it and formed the Duchy of Romagna. It eventually became part of the Kingdom of Italy.
Note
Although the design of these Romagne stamps is simple, I like the way they look. They have both an antique a modern style to them. They probably passed for modern in the 19th Century and in the 20th Century they would have passed for chic retro. I like the colors and in particular the font for the numbers. The three looks like a five and vice versa.
Contains 9 spots: own 5 – 5 unused, 0 used.
