Welcome to Banat Stamps
Banat is an ethnically mixed historic region of eastern Europe; it is bounded by Transylvania and Walachia in the east, by the Tisza River in the west, by the Mures River in the north, and by the Danube River in the south. After 1920 Banat was divided among the modern states of Romania, Yugoslavia (Vojvodina), and Hungary. The name banat has its origin in a Persian
word meaning lord, or master, and was introduced into Europe by the Avars; it came to mean a frontier province or a district under military governorship.
