That description is very simplistic and doesn't provide much information that will help identify it. Here are some descriptions that might help.
Most symbols with a Lion were a lion that wore a crown. Usually the Lion is depicted as "Ramport" or rearing. But there are only a couple of badges with a Lion as part of the predominate figure.
There are many examples that depict a Tiger, usually standing with one front paw raised. This was a symbol used to denote service in India. There are a couple of examples of a Tiger standing inside a Wreath, which might by your "circle". There are many, many examples of badges that have the basic outline of a Wreath, which resembles a group of oak leaves formed in a circle form.
Another figure often seen on British badges is the reclining Spinx---which might be mistaken for a lion. It denoted service in Egypt. The Spinx is always shown in profile view.
When describing a badge, it helps to identify certain details such as size and type of material(yellow bronze or white nickel or a combination). Modern badges are a very shiny white metal that was soft and called StayBrite. Also is the badge solid or is it voided around the center image. Many but not all British cap badges have a crown resting on the top of the wreath or image. The shape of the crown indicated the King/Queen who reigned when the badge was issued. There was a King's crown that was typical for WW1 & WW2 and a Queen's crown for post 1954 and used on modern badges.
Some possiblities:
South Wales Borders - Wreath with Spinx in center and letters "SWB" at bottom.
Hampshire Regiment - Wreath with Tiger on top of Rose and banner with "Hampshire".
York and Lancaster Regiment - Wreath with Tiger in center and Rose above it and a crown at top of wreath. Bottom portion of wreath is a banner with name of regiment.
East Lancaster Regiment - Wreath with Spinx sitting on a paque "EGYPT" and a small Rose. Crown on top of Wreath and banner under it.
Now these are the only ones that come close to a "lion in a circle" from the regular British regiments. There is another group of badges for Yoemanry units or territorial units, similar to militia for some countries. They used badges that can be very similar to those of regular units and some used badges that were very unique.
Another possibility is that it isn't British. It could be a commonwealth nation. I thought of South Africa and checked a few examples that I have from that country. Maybe Indian.
Other possiblities is that it may not be a cap badge but a badge or ornamant used for other equipment: collar device, cartridge pouch badge, badges or devices for cavalry equipment.

Who had a regimental cap badge similar to a Maltese cross?
Answer There are several British Regimental Cap Badges that are shaped like a Maltese Cross over the years. This shape was common for Rifle regiments and I have three types in my collection: King's Royal Rifle Corps. The Sherwood Forestes had a Maltese Cross with a reclining deer in the center(no wreath). In the current British Army, this badge would be worn by the Royal Green Jackets. Its badge is a Maltese Cross within a Wreath.

What is the history of the parachute regiment cap badge?
The cap badge of the British Parachute Regiment is relatively new as paratroopers did not exist until WW2. So it is a new design that has no historical tradition as common with many of the British regiments. One source I have says the badge was approved in May 1943. The badge is a simple design of Wings with a parachute in the center; the parachute being topped by a King's Crown and a Lion on top of the crown. It has a silver finish.

Who has a regimental cap badge with a crown at the top 2 crossed swords in the middle on a circular solid badge from ww1 is it gloucestershire.how can i find a picture?
The Gloucestershire Regiment's cap badge was a Sphinx image sitting on a battle honor EGYPT with a wreath below and the name of the regiment.But the cap badge I found for it was not as you describe at all.There was also a Gloucestershire Yoemanry Regiment that was also known as Royal Gloucestershire Hussars. But the cap badge I found for it was not as you describe at all.I thought maybe the badge you had was a collar device. But again, the Gloucestershire Regiment wore a small Sphinx on their collar.The badge for the Army Personal Training Corps during WW2 was simply crossed swords with a crown mounted above where they crossed.I can't find such a badge. However, during WW1 the British had many different regiments and yeomanry units that only existed for that war.Oh wait! Sometimes cap badges had a backing that was used to attach it. These backings were large round discs. Was the badge you saw attached to a hat? If it was lying by itself, then maybe the circular disc was some type of back plate.+++++++++++I found it!!WW1 Overseas Bronze Badge - Round badge with crossed swords with a wreath around outer edge. Crossed swords in the center with a Crown above them and a 5-pointed Star below it. Across the front is a scroll that reads "OVERSEAS SERVICE". The back is solid with a British style safety pin clasp.I found this on the eBay store of my favorite and most knowledgeable sellers of British and Canadian cap badges. He has one for sale with a PHOTO; list price $25(USD). His ebay seller name is ArticMedals. I'm sure he can explain what this purpose of this badge and maybe know where it was worn. This is not a Cap Badge.Steve, aka Custermen
