A male lion in Egypt

The lion is a felid in the genus Panthera distinguished by the great manes of its males. It was historically endemic throughout Africa and the western half of Asia, favoring savannahs and grasslands but not deserts and dense forests.

During the Peloponnesian War in Greece, lions were hunted for their fangs valued at 40 drachmae[1]

During the Ptolemaic dynasty of Egypt, lion claws were popular among commoners as pendants, valued at 35 drachmae each in the mid 1st century BCE. lions were considered divine beings, personified in gods like Sekhmet.[2]
