A bas-relief from Persepolis, the ceremonial capital of the Achaemenid Empire (ca. 550–330 BC) in what is now Iran, which depicts a fight between a lion and a bull. This symbol has been variously interpreted, including as the representing the Nowruz (the Persian New Year) and as the spring equinox in which the eternally fighting bull (personifying the Earth) and lion (personifying the Sun) are equal.
