The Roman salute is a gesture in which the arm is held out forward straight, with palm down, and fingers touching. In some versions the arm is raised upward at an angle, in others it is held out parallel to the ground. It is a well known symbol of fascism that is commonly perceived to be based on a custom in ancient Rome.

The Roman salute is a gesture in which the arm is held out forward straight, with palm down, and fingers touching. In some versions the arm is raised upward at an angle, in others it is held out parallel to the ground. It is a well known symbol of fascism that is commonly perceived to be based on a custom in ancient Rome. However, no Roman text gives this description and the Roman works of art that display salutational gestures bear little resemblance to the modern salute. Jacques-Louis David's painting The Oath of the Horatii (1784) provided the starting point for the gesture that became later known as the Roman Salute. The gesture and its identification with Roman culture was further developed in other French neoclassic artworks. This was further manifested in popular culture during the late 19th and early 20th century in plays and films that portrayed the salute as an ancient Roman custom.
