@ErikUden Half of me wants nothing more to do with this exchange, and the other half is mildly curious what they thought it was if not a Nazi salute.

FWIW: anyone saying it was a "Roman salute" is calling it a Nazi salute by another name; they might not know it, but this is a bad time to be that ignorant. It was never a Roman salute. It was a fascist salute the Nazis adopted, and the fascists did it because they misinterpreted an image in a French painting of an ancient Roman story as historically accurate.
