[Flavivs Aetivs]

Notitia Dignitatum under the Magister Militum Praesentalis I, the Hiberi did exist.

The oldest one (and the one believed to most closely resemble the original Notitia) depicts a big cat that appears to have faint spots and is shaped like a cheetah.

The others depict a Lion that is very stylized in a medieval context, and most Europeans wouldn't even know what a Cheetah was until the colonization of India. We know that the Medeival monks replaced words like "Pardus" and "Iubatus" (Leopard and Cheetah respectively) with "Leo" (Lion) and its likely they did this with Imagery as well.
