minus-squareFrenchfryenjoyer (she/her)@lemmings.worldOPlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up20·edit-26 days agoYup. There’s not a single piece of ancient Roman art which depicts the “Roman salute” they always talk about either lol. it actually originated relatively recently from Mussolini’s National Fascist Party so calling it an “ancient Roman salute” is just plain dishonest
