The Akkadian Empire (c. 2334–2154 BC)... In Mesopotamian religion, Sin (Akkadian: Sîn, Sumerian: Nanna) was the moon god. He was associated with fertility, wisdom, and the cycles of life, and he was considered a member of the Anunnaki, a class of Mesopotamian gods. Sin was often depicted with a lunar halo or a crescent moon, and his primary symbol was a bull, referencing the waxing moon's resemblance to a bull's horns
