Postage Stamp - Romania - 1965
Romania issued this postage stamp as part of a series of six celebrating major cultural anniversaries of 1965. The stamps in the series feature portraits of five men in addition to Dante: Anton Bacalbașa, Ion Bianu, Vasile Conta, Horace, and Jean Sibelius.

The stamp has text as follows: vertically, along the left side: "DANTE ALIGHIERI 1265-1321"; vertically, along the right side: "MARILE ANIVERSARI CULTURALE 1965" (major cultural anniversaries 1965); at the bottom are the denomination, "POSTA ROMANA" (Romanian Post), and "S.
