The Israel Post has just issued a dandy new series of stamps highlighting the often nature-defying monumental architecture of Herod the Great.

Here are some hi-res scans of the four issues. Enjoy…
Here’s another nice one, featuring the Church of All Nations and the Garden of Gethsemane. It was issued jointly with the Vatican in November 2010:
