A lion is not a giraffe

So I've been playing 0 A.D. since A18 (I think), but I'm still finding out new things.

I typically play with maximally zoomed out and I always thought the figure on the roof of the Persian barracks vaguely resembled a giraffe (screenshots are actually too sharp):

However, now I accidently zoomed in, I discovered it's actually a Mesopotamian lion:Screenshot_from_2017-10-27_11-34-26.thumb.png.ca8b2887e3233d7b54b13e587a68a145.png

Apparently taken from the Babylonian walls (see Ishtar gate, now partially in Berlin):

I'm looking forward to stumbling upon the next nugget :)
