Persepolis, one of the most valuable survivals of ancient Iran, is a ritual city that preserves significant biological and symbolic features of the Achaemenid era. Its reliefs and carved images form an essential part of this capital construction’s architectural language and provide significant insight into Achaemenid cultural concepts. In contemporary contexts, transvisualizing signs inspired by Persepolitan reliefs and statues has become an important artistic field. Preserving these symbols and signs and re-formulating their semantic content and historical roots in the form of graphic emblems contributes to identifying Iranian symbology. Thus, this study employs Aby Warburg’s genealogical approach to trace the origins and transformations of motifs and analyze their language of sense and signification, while attempting to investigate, through the semiotic and iconological analysis of these motifs in Achaemenid culture, their translatability into the domain of graphic art. Because Warburg’s method is grounded in visual analysis and the study of images through their survival and evolution over time, the research aims to answer the question how Achaemenid motifs have influenced the lingua-cultural structure in contemporary ideology of signs. A frequency analysis conducted is also in parallel alignment with Warburg’s perspective on the persistence of images. The strong presence of natural motifs, particularly floral elements, symbolizes fertility, abundance, and cosmic order, itself communicating authority and superiority. Geometric patterns emphasize order and precision, while their structure, reflects orderly organization in the bureaucratic hierarchy. Motifs such as the Simin (silver) cup and symbols like the wheat ear signify prosperity and public welfare in Achaemenid governance. The continued presence of these visual elements in Iranian national symbols and commercial emblems demonstrates the lasting influence of Achaemenid visual language in today’s Iran; as such, the semiotic regeneration of traditional symbols and maintaining their connection to historical heritage remains an important lesson of Achaemenid art.
