For the Romans, the lion held several symbolic meanings. Firstly, it represented strength and bravery, signifying courage in battle and the fortitude needed to overcome challenges. Secondly, it was associated with royalty and power, viewed as a majestic and regal animal, linking it to concepts of leadership and authority. The lion was also seen as a protective figure, with Romans often depicting it in sculptures and mosaics in religious and guardian contexts, such as at the entrances of homes and temples. In Roman astrology, the sign of Leo, represented by a lion, symbolized passion, determination, and leadership. Additionally, within Roman mythology, the lion had its place, with the Nemean Lion being a formidable beast that Hercules had to defeat as part of his twelve labors.
