That is not "Roman Salute" in first place.
"... commonly considered a symbol of fascism that had been based on a custom popularly attributed to ancient Rome.[1] However, no Roman text gives this description, and the Roman works of art that display salutational gestures bear little resemblance to the modern so-called "Roman" salute."

- dudefeliciano 2y agoWhat are you trying to accomplish with this comment, protecting the reputation of the ancient Romans? The article you linked says, in the first line: "The Roman salute, also known as the Fascist salute" While (ancient) Romans may have not done this salute, the salute is commonly referred to as Roman salute nonetheless
