Italian here, Roman actually.
The Roman salute has not origin in ancient history.
It was formalized by Gabriele D’Annunzio, a sick fascist poet and writer, as a salute for his proto-fascist troops with which he occupied Fiume in modern-day Croatia, having been inspired this painting.
So yea, the roman salute is a fascist salute, invented by a fascist, for a fascist occurrence and to call it roman is a disservice to Rome and history in general.

not my job and this is not the place to waste time providing a textbook-level of evidence of what you could have researched yourself if you were willing to be persuaded.

If you can’t answer him that’s all you have to say.
Don’t do this rigamarole of “do your own research to justify why other people use their words.”
