More Lions

of Rome

Due to their notoriety during the age of the Roman Empire, lion symbolisms are still present in modern Rome. From the fountain sculpture at Piazza del Popolo (1st image on the left), to the sculpture at the Pantheon (2nd picture on the left), as well as the recurring pattern of the Macedonian Lion on a variety of Roman mosaics, lions continue to be a part of the Roman life.

When in Rome, eat a lion."
