This article describes the outstretched hand gesture on the equestrian statue as an act of clemency to a bested enemy, but the linked main article about the statue describes the same gesture as an address made by a military commander to his troops. Could someone please clarify this? Random-person-on-the-interwebz (talk) 04:04, 31 August 2025 (UTC)
