Already when I was young I heard the equestrian statues that were in some cities had a curious, defined according to the horse's legs as he had raised had died (or lived) the tribute on the statue.
was said that if he had a leg up on the horse, the person had been wounded in battle (but not dead, although he might have died later from wounds of war).
If you had two legs raised, have died in combat.
If all the legs were down, is that the character would not have been injured or killed in battle.
It's funny that some people still like that of some in posts like this:
Although sometimes there can be examples that meet the rule are also very many who do not like this:
Simon Bolivar Statue (Virginia): One leg up, died of disease, tuberculosis.
George Washington (Washington): One leg up, also was wounded in battle.
General Casimir Pulaski: A leg up, died in battle.
General McCLELLAN: One leg up, natural death.
