Italian post year 1916/22 Aegean Islands “Patmos” MH
During the period of 1912-1947, the Italian Aegean Islands were under Italian control. These islands were part of the Dodecanese archipelago, which includes islands such as Rhodes, Kos, and Patmos.
Patmos is a Greek island known for its historical significance, particularly as the location where Saint John the Apostle is said to have written the Book of Revelation.
Between 1916 and 1922, Italy issued postage stamps for use in the Aegean Islands, including Patmos. These stamps were used for postal services within the islands and for mail to and from Italy and other countries.
Stamps from this period often featured designs reflecting Italian rule or local landmarks and symbols. However, I don’t have specific details about stamps specifically issued for Patmos during this time.
These stamps are of interest to collectors of Italian philately and postal history, as well as those interested in the history of the Aegean Islands during the period of Italian control.
