Persepolis Staircase
Persepolis was the ceremonial capital of the Achaemenid Empire and dates back to 515 BC. It exemplifies the Achaemenid style of architecture.
The Bull-Lion fight is one of the most famous bas-relieves found on the site. The basic sense of the bull brought down by beasts of prey is an image of the fundamental forces of "life and death" in an intense struggle. If the bull is taken as the life-giving principle, the lion must be interpreted as the dynamic force that activates its release. (Financialtribune)
