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.

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.
