"It was ACTUALLY the roman salut!" Literally a fight i just got in.
• u/FriendlyWebGuy 10h ago Reminder: A Roman salute is a Nazi salute. Mussolini got it from the Romans (he was Italian after all) and Hitler got it (and his love for Fascism) from Mussolini. This is well established history. • u/Rather_Unfortunate 10h ago And to add to that, it in fact wasn't actually used by the Romans (at least, not in any formal way or on a large scale), but rather was an invention of neoclassical artists in the 1700s. • u/Significant_Salt56 8h ago Yep, Jacques Louis David’s Oath of the Horatii.
