Descrizione
ITALY
Issued May 2, 1983
Scott Catalog Number 1559
One of a set of two in the 1983 Europa series
The image of Archimedes represented on the stamp is from a bust in the National Museum of Naples, Italy. However, the bust actually is one of Archidamos III, a third-century BC king of Sparta.
Also depicted is an Archimedes screw. As is typical of such illustrations, the helical blades are not drawn properly and the way in which water is trapped in the device is incorrectly shown. The artist also has water flowing uphill as it leaves the top of the screw.
