Sculptures commemorating military victories such as those on the Arch of Titus, the Arch of Constantine, or on the Column of Trajan are the best-known examples of raised arms in art from this period. [6] However, these monuments do not display a single clear image of the Roman salute. [6] In Germany showing the Roman salute is today prohibited by law. Those rendering similar salutes, for example raising the left instead of the right hand, or raising only three fingers, are liable to prosecution. The punishment derives from § 86a of the German Criminal Code and can be up to three years imprisonment or a fine (in minor cases).

Roman salute - Wikipedia

After his conquest of Persia, Alexander the Great introduced Persian etiquette into his own court, including the practice of proskynesis. Visitors, depending on their ranks, would have to prostrate themselves, bow to, kneel in front of, or kiss the king. His Greek countrymen objected to this practice, as they considered these rituals only suitable to the gods.In Greece in 1936, when Ioannis Metaxas and his 4th of August Regime took power, an almost identical salute was adopted – first by the National Youth Organization and later by the government as well as common people – and used even while fighting against Italy and Germany in WW2.

A raised right fist icon appears prominently as a feminist symbol on the covers of two major books by Robin Morgan, Sisterhood is Powerful, published in 1970, [15] and Sisterhood Is Forever, in 2003. [16] The symbol had been popularised in the feminist movement during the Miss America protest in 1968 which Morgan co-organised. [8] The origin of the raised fist as either a symbol or gesture is unclear. Its use in trade unionism, anarchism, and the labor movement had begun by the 1910s. William "Big Bill" Haywood, a founding member of the Industrial Workers of the World, used the metaphor of a fist as something greater than the sum of its parts during a speech at the 1913 Paterson silk strike. [2] Journalist and socialist activist John Reed described hearing a similar description from a participant in the strike. [3] A large raised fist rising from a crowd of striking workers was used to promote a mass strike in Budapest in 1912. [4] In the United States, clenched fist was described by the magazine Mother Earth as "symbolical of the social revolution" in 1914. [5] The use of the fist as a salute by communists and antifascists is first evidenced in 1924, when it was adopted for the Communist Party of Germany's Roter Frontkämpferbund ("Alliance of Red Front-Fighters"). In reaction, the Nazi Party adopted the well-known Roman salute two years later. [6] The gesture of the raised fist was apparently known in the United States as well, and is seen in a photograph from a May Day march in New York City in 1936. [7] It is perhaps best known in this era from its use during the Spanish Civil War of 1936–1939, as a greeting by the Republican faction, and known as the " Popular Front salute" or the " anti-fascist salute". [8] Children preparing for evacuation during the Spanish Civil War (1930s), some giving the Republican salute. The Republicans showed a raised right fist whereas the Nationalists gave the Roman salute. [9]

In Germany, the salute, sporadically used by the Nazi Party (NSDAP) since 1923, was made compulsory within the movement in 1926. [45] Called the Hitler salute ( Hitlergruß), it functioned both as an expression of commitment within the party and as a demonstrative statement to the outside world. [46] Yet in spite of this demand for the outward display of obedience, the drive to gain acceptance did not go unchallenged, even within the movement. [46] Early objections focused on its resemblance to the Roman salute employed by Fascist Italy, and hence on it not being Germanic. [46] In response, efforts were made to establish its pedigree and invent a proper tradition after the fact. [46] After a meeting with Mussolini, in December 1937, Yugoslav Prime Minister Milan Stojadinović and chairman of Yugoslav Radical Union adopted a version of the salute as he took to styling himself as Vođa (Leader). [61] [62] The command for this gesture in Indonesian is Hormat, Gerak!.
