Babylonian exile in the Bible
My newest addition to the Stamp Bible is a FDC from Israel showing a scene from the Opera Nabucco by Verdi that was finally decoded for me by one of my best friends! Nabucco is, apparently, the Italian pronunciation of Nebuchadnezzar Israel issued this stamp commemorating Verdi’s 200 th birthday, and it depicts Abigail on a chariot pulled by a beautiful white horse! The other addition is a stamp issued by Iran showing a wall-mosaic of a Persian Archer from the era of Cyrus the Great.
