Благодаря вам озаботился ответом на этот вопрос, который давно занимал и меня. Почти сразу-же родился запрос в Гугль: http://www.google.ru/search?hl=ru&q=Three+legs+symbol&lr=
Откуда получено: http://www.isle-of-man.com/interests/three-legs/index.shtml "A frequently asked question concerns the origins of the Three Legs of Mann design and how it came to be adopted as the national symbol of the Isle of Man. The answer is that nobody really knows. The device has a long history stretching back into pagan times and represents the sun and its daily passage across the heavens." ... "It appears that the four legs of the swastika developed into the Three Legged design. The device is well known in the island of Sicily(выделение мое) and occurs on a vase from Agrigentum which dates from the 5th century B.C. The design appears also on a coin of Aspendus, a town in Asia Minor, which is believed to date from about 500 BC. Another coin from the same region is dated about 400-300 B.C. The Three Legs appeared in 317 B.C., again in Sicily, on the coins of Syracuse. The emblem also occurs on a shield which is depicted on an Etruscan Vase preserved at the Vatican, and is of unknown antiquity. There are other examples of similar vases around the world, one being at the British Museum in London. The Three Legged device was commonly found among the Celts and Norsemen of north-western Europe. Closer to home, a simple version of the Three Legs appeared on the 10th century coinage of the Norse King Analaf Cuaran who ruled both in Dublin and in Mann. "
Не следует также забывать, что несколько столетий Сицилия была норманнским владением.
Немного не о том, но иногда это путают: В районе Британских островов есть острова Scilly (у юго-западной оконечности Англии). По-русски их называют о-ва Силли. Не исключено, что есть связь. Римляне там наверняка в свое время побывали. Три ноги, скорее всего, происходят от треножника - культовая и бытовая вещь в античности. Может быть, некогда какой-то древний сицилийски мастер сделал некий супер-треножник в форме трех ног, оттуда и пожло.
