Roman salute

Source: Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

The Oath of the Horatii (1784), by Jacques-Louis David

The Roman salute, is a gesture in which the right arm is fully extended, facing forward, 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. In contemporary times, the former is 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 Roman salute.[1]

Beginning with

Gabriele d'Annunzio. In 1919, d'Annunzio adopted the cinematographically depicted salute as a neo-imperial ritual when he led an occupation of Fiume
.

Through d'Annunzio's influence, the gesture soon became part of the rising

Italian Fascist movement's symbolic repertoire. In 1923, the salute was gradually adopted by the Italian Fascist regime. It was then adopted as the Nazi salute and made compulsory within the Nazi Party in 1926 and gained national prominence in the German state when the Nazis took power in 1933. It was also adopted by other fascist, far right and ultranationalist
movements.

Since the end of

Early Roman sources and images

Trajan's Column
, Plate LXII. Onlookers raise their arms to acclaim the emperor

The modern gesture consists of stiffly extending the right arm frontally and raising it roughly 135 degrees from the body's vertical axis, with the palm of the hand facing down and the fingers stretched out and touching each other.[1] According to common perceptions, this salute was based on an ancient Roman custom.[1] However, this description is unknown in Roman literature and is never mentioned by ancient historians of Rome.[1] Not a single Roman work of art displays a salute of this kind.[1] The gesture of the raised right arm or hand in Roman and other ancient cultures that does exist in surviving literature and art generally had a significantly different function and is never identical with the modern straight-arm salute.[1]

The right hand (Lat. dextera, dextra; Gr. δεξιά – dexia) was commonly used in antiquity as a symbol of pledging trust, friendship or loyalty.[4] For example, Cicero reported that Octavian pledged an oath to Julius Caesar while outstretching his right hand: "Although that youth [the young Caesar Octavian] is powerful and has told Antony off nicely: yet, after all, we must wait to see the end. But what a speech! He swore his oath with the words: 'so may I achieve the honours of my father!', and at the same time he stretched out his right hand in the direction of his statue."[5]

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]

The images closest in appearance to a raised arm salute are scenes in Roman sculpture and coins which show an adlocutio, acclamatio, adventus, or profectio.[7] These are occasions when a high-ranking official, such as a general or the emperor, addresses individuals or a group, often soldiers. Unlike modern custom, in which both the leader and the people he addresses raise their arms, most of these scenes show only the senior official raising his hand.[8] Occasionally it is a sign of greeting or benevolence, but usually it is used as an indication of power.[8] An opposite depiction is the salutatio of a diogmites, a military police officer, who raises his right arm to greet his commander during his adventus on a relief from 2nd-century Ephesus.[9]

An example of a salutational gesture of imperial power can be seen in the statue of Augustus of Prima Porta which follows certain guidelines set out by oratory scholars of his day.[10] In Rhetorica ad Herennium the anonymous author states that the orator "will control himself in the entire frame of his body and in the manly angle of his flanks, with the extension of the arm in the impassioned moments of speech, and by drawing in the arm in relaxed moods".[10] Quintilian states in his Institutio Oratoria: "Experts do not permit the hand to be raised above the level of the eyes or lowered beneath the breast; to such a degree is this true that it is considered a fault to direct the hand above the head or lower it to the lower part of the belly. It may be extended to the left within the limits of the shoulder, but beyond that it is not fitting."[10]

18th–19th centuries France

The Tennis Court Oath
(1791), by Jacques-Louis David
The Distribution of the Eagle Standards (1810), also by Jacques-Louis David

Beginning with

The Oath of the Horatii (1784), an association of the gesture with Roman republican and imperial culture emerged.[11][12] The painting shows the three sons of Horatius swear on their swords, held by their father, that they will defend Rome to the death.[13] It is based on a historical event described by Livy (Book I, sections 24-6) and elaborated by Dionysius in Roman Antiquities (Book III).[14] However, the moment depicted in David's painting is his own creation.[15] Neither Livy nor Dionysius mention any oath taking episode.[13] Dionysius, the more detailed source, reports that the father had left to his sons the decision to fight then raised his hands to the heavens to thank the gods.[15]

Dominating the center of The Oath of the Horatii is the brothers' father, facing left. He has both hands raised.[15] His left hand is holding three swords, while his right hand is empty, with fingers stretched but not touching.[15] The brother closest to the viewer is holding his arm almost horizontally.[15] The brother on the left is holding his arm slightly higher, while the third brother holds his hand higher still.[15] While the first brother extends his right arm, the other two are extending their left arms. The succession of arms raised progressively higher leads to a gesture closely approximating the style used by fascists in the 20th century in Italy, albeit with the "wrong" arms.[15]

Art historian Albert Boime provides the following analysis:

The brothers stretch out their arms in a salute that has since become associated with tyranny. The "Hail Caesar" of antiquity (although at the time of the Horatii a Caesar had yet to be born) was transformed into the "Heil Hitler" of the modern period. The fraternal intimacy brought about by the Horatii's dedication to absolute principles of victory or death ... is closely related to the establishment of the fraternal order ... In the total commitment or blind obedience of a single, exclusive group lies the potentiality of the authoritarian state.[12]

After the French Revolution of 1789, David was commissioned to depict the formation of the revolutionary government in a similar style. In the Tennis Court Oath (1792) the National Assembly are all depicted with their arms outstretched, united in an upward gesture comparable to that of the Horatii, as they swear to create a new constitution.[16] The painting was never finished, but an immense drawing was exhibited in 1791 alongside the Oath of the Horatii.[12] As in the Oath of the Horatii, David conveys the unity of minds and bodies in the service of the patriotic ideal.[12] But in this drawing, he takes the subject further, uniting the people beyond just family ties and across different classes, religions, and philosophical opinions.[12]

Napoleon's imperial régime, David further deployed the gesture in The Distribution of the Eagle Standards (1810).[17] But unlike his previous paintings representing republican ideals, in Eagle Standards the oath of allegiance is pledged to a central authority figure, and in imperial fashion.[17] Boime sees the series of oath pictures as "the coding of key developments in the history of the Revolution and its culmination in Napoleonic authoritarianism".[18]

The imperial oath is seen in other paintings, such as

De Vita Caesarum ("The Life of the Caesars", or "The Twelve Caesars").[20] Despite becoming widely popularised in later times, the phrase is unknown in Roman history aside from this isolated use, and it is questionable whether it was ever a customary salute, as is often believed.[21] It was more likely to be an isolated appeal by desperate captives and criminals condemned to die.[22]

19th–20th centuries United States

Children performing the Bellamy salute to the flag of the United States

On October 12, 1892, the

Pledge of Allegiance in the United States. The inventor of the saluting gesture was James B. Upham, junior partner and editor of The Youth's Companion.[23] Bellamy recalled Upham, upon reading the pledge, came into the posture of the salute, snapped his heels together, and said "Now up there is the flag; I come to salute; as I say 'I pledge allegiance to my flag,' I stretch out my right hand and keep it raised while I say the stirring words that follow."[23]

As fascism took hold in Europe, controversy grew over the use of the Bellamy salute given its similarity to the Roman Salute. When war broke out in 1939, the controversy intensified. School boards around the country revised the salute to avoid the similarity. There was a counter-backlash from the United States Flag Association and the Daughters of the American Revolution, who felt it inappropriate for Americans to have to change the traditional salute because others had later adopted a similar gesture.[24]

On June 22, 1942, at the urging of the American Legion and the Veterans of Foreign Wars, Congress passed Public Law 77-623, which codified the etiquette used to display and pledge allegiance to the flag. This included use of the Bellamy salute, specifically that the pledge "be rendered by standing with the right hand over the heart; extending the right hand, palm upward, toward the flag at the words ‘‘to the flag’’ and holding this position until the end, when the hand drops to the side." Congress did not discuss or take into account the controversy over use of the salute. Congress later amended the code on December 22, 1942, when it passed Public Law 77-829. Among other changes, it eliminated the Bellamy salute and replaced it with the stipulation that the pledge "be rendered by standing with the right hand over the heart."[25]

Early 20th century in theatre and film

The gesture, already established in the United States through the Bellamy salute, has been traced to the

Broadway production of the play Ben-Hur.[26] The play, based on Lew Wallace's book Ben-Hur: A Tale of the Christ, opened on Broadway in November 1899 and proved to be a great success.[27] Photographs show several scenes using the gesture, including one of Ben-Hur greeting a seated sheik and another of a small crowd so greeting Ben-Hur in his chariot.[28] Neither Wallace's novel nor text for the theatrical production mentions a raised arm salute.[28] The salute was evidently added in keeping with the exaggerated style of acting in 19th century theater, which in turn influenced acting in the silent cinema.[29]

The salute frequently occurs in early 20th century films set in antiquity, such as the American

Ben-Hur (1907) and the Italian Nerone (1908), although such films do not yet standardize it or make it exclusively Roman.[30] In Spartaco (1914), even the slave Spartacus uses it.[30] Later examples appear in Ben-Hur (1925) and in Cecil B. DeMille's Sign of the Cross (1932) and Cleopatra (1934), although the execution of the gesture is still variable.[30]

Of special note is the use in

Gabriele d'Annunzio, who was known as the "poet-warrior".[32] Inspired by the Italo-Turkish War, in which Italy conquered the North African Ottoman province of Tripolitania, Pastrone pursued a politically volatile issue.[33] The film highlights Italy's Roman past and the "monstrous" nature of Carthaginian society, which is contrasted with the "nobility" of Roman society.[34] Cabiria was one of several films of the period that "helped resuscitate a distant history that legitimized Italy's past and inspired its dreams" and which "delivered the spirit for conquest that seemed to arrive from the distant past", thereby presaging the "political rituals of fascism", "thanks ... to its prime supporter and apostle, Gabriele d'Annunzio."[35]

Variations on the salute occur throughout Cabiria on the part of Romans and Africans.

Massinissa, guest of the Carthaginian Hasdrubal, raises his right hand and is so greeted in return, once by the strongman Maciste.[36] Princess Sophonisba and King Syphax mutually greet each other by raising their hands and declining their bodies.[36] The diversity of the gesture and the variety of nationalities who use it in Cabria is seen as further evidence that the salute is a modern invention, used in the film to highlight the exotic nature of antiquity.[36]

Adoption during the 20th century

Italy

D'Annunzio, who had written the subtitles for the silent movie epic

Italian Fascism,[38] as virtually the entire ritual of Fascism was invented by D'Annunzio during his occupation of Fiume and his leadership of the "Italian Regency of Carnaro".[39] Besides the Roman salute, these included the balcony address, the cries of "Eia, eia, eia! Alalà!", the dramatic and rhetorical dialogues with the crowd, and the use of religious symbols in new secular settings.[38]

Like other neo-Imperial rituals used by D'Annunzio, the salute became part of the

Italian fascist movement's symbolic repertoire.[37] On January 31, 1923, the Ministry of Education instituted a ritual honoring the flag in schools using the Roman salute.[37] In 1925, as Mussolini began his fascitization of the state, the salute was gradually adopted by the regime, and by December 1, 1925, all state civil administrators were required to use it.[37]

bourgeois. He further extolled the salute as "more hygienic, more aesthetic, and shorter." He also suggested that the Roman salute did not imply the necessity of taking off the hat unless one was indoors. By 1932, the salute was adopted as the substitute for the handshake.[37] On August 19, 1933, the military was ordered to use the salute whenever an unarmed detachment of soldiers was called on to render military honors for the King or Mussolini.[40]

The symbolic value of the gesture grew, and it was felt that the proper salute "had the effect of showing the fascist man's decisive spirit, which was close to that of ancient Rome".[41] The salute was seen to demonstrate the fascist's "decisive spirit, firmness, seriousness, and acknowledgment and acceptance of the regime's hierarchical structure".[42] It was further felt that the correct physical gesture brought forth a change in character.[43] A joke claimed, however, that the Fascist salute used one hand because Italians were tired of raising both hands to surrender during World War I.[44]

The handshake was supposed to disappear from the view of Italians and not contaminate their daily life. In 1938, the party abolished handshaking in films and theater, and on November 21, 1938, the

retouched to remove the image of their handshaking.[43]

Germany

Main article: Nazi salute

In Germany, the salute, sporadically used by 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]

The compulsory use of the Hitler salute for all public employees followed a directive issued by Reich Minister of the Interior

July 20 Plot in 1944 were the military forces of the Third Reich ordered to replace the standard military salute with the Hitler salute.[49]

Elsewhere

Similar forms of salutes were adopted by various groups. Its use in France dates back to the revolution. It will be used also by the

collaborationist parties, adopted a variant of the salute that distinguished itself from others by slightly bending the hand and holding it at face level.[54]

In the early 1930s, the salute was used by members of the Estonian nationalist right wing Vaps Movement,[55] as well as the Brazilian Integralist Action, who used to salute by raising one arm. The Brazilian form of the Salute was called "Anauê" – a word used as a salutation and as a cry by the Brazilian indigenous Tupi people, meaning "you are my brother".[56]

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.

In Spain, in the early 1930s,

Carlist, monarchist, and ultracatholic Traditionalist Communion, creating the FET y de las JONS (Falange Española Tradicionalista y de las Juntas de Ofensiva Nacional Sindicalista, lit. 'Traditionalist Spanish Phalanx of the Councils of the National Syndicalist Offensive"), he formally approved the salute in a decree which made it the official salutation to be used by all except the military, who would continue to use the traditional military salutes.[58] This was repealed in September 1945.[59] When the Franco regime restored "Marcha Real" as the Spanish national anthem in 1942 and established unofficial new lyrics for it, the first stanza referred to the fascist salute: "Alzad los brazos, hijos del pueblo español" ("Raise your arms, sons of the Spanish people"). These lyrics remained part of the Spanish national anthem until 1978.[60]

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]

On January 4, 1939, the salute by raising one arm was adopted in Romania under a statute promulgating the National Renaissance Front.[63] In Slovakia, the Hlinka Guard's Na stráž! (On guard!) consisted of a half-hearted compromise between a friendly wave and a salute with a straight raised arm.[64]

During the Vichy regime in France, the Roman salute was regularly used by members of the Legion of French Volunteers Against Bolshevism and the 33rd Waffen Grenadier Division of the SS Charlemagne.[65] It was also used by certain collaborationist groups (such as the National Popular Rally) during public events organised by the regime.[66] Pupils of the Chantiers de la jeunesse française, a pro-Vichy youth movement, also used the Roman salute.[67]

Post World War II

Italy

The salute has been used many times by prominent individuals as well as groups of people since the war. Famed poet Ezra Pound used the salute in praise of his adopted country of Italy when he returned in 1958 after being released from an insane asylum in the United States.[68] The salute was on display in the 1968 funeral for Mussolini's youngest daughter, Anna Maria Mussolini Negri.[69] When the Italian Social Movement had its greatest electoral gains since the Second World War in June 1971, crowds at the party headquarters cheered and gave the outstretched arm salute.[70] On July 29, 1983, on the 100th anniversary of Mussolini's birth, thousands of black-shirted supporters chanted "Duce! Duce!" with their arms raised in the fascist salute on a march from his native village of Predappio in Romagna to the cemetery where he was buried.[71] On the eve of Silvio Berlusconi's election victory in 1994, young supporters of Gianfranco Fini made the fascist salute while chanting "Duce! Duce!"[72]

In 2005, Italian

A.S. Livorno Calcio (a club inclined to leftist politics).[73] Di Canio received a one match game ban after the second event and was fined 7,000 euros, after which he was quoted as saying "I will always salute as I did because it gives me a sense of belonging to my people [...] I saluted my people with what for me is a sign of belonging to a group that holds true values, values of civility against the standardisation that this society imposes upon us."[74] His salute featured on unofficial merchandise sold outside Stadio Olimpico after the ban.[73] Di Canio has also expressed admiration for Mussolini.[75][76]

In June 2009, Michela Vittoria Brambilla, an Italian politician and businesswoman commonly described as a possible successor to Silvio Berlusconi for leadership of the Italian right, was caught in a controversy over her alleged use of the Roman salute, with calls for her to step down.[77] She denied the accusation, stating "I've never either done or thought of doing any gesture that is an apology of fascism, something toward which I've never showed any indulgence, let alone sympathy. And why should I have made a public display of such a despicable gesture shortly after I've been made a minister?"[77] A video of the event was posted on the Web site of the newspaper La Repubblica that showed Brambilla extending her right arm upward in what appears to be a fascist salute.[77] Brambilla said she was just greeting the crowd.[77]

In January 2024, hundreds of neo-fascists gathered at the MSI's former headquarters to commemorate the Acca Larentia killings.

Italian Constitution, which far-right groups are able to circumvent by using a different name and proclaiming themselves to be new political forces.[88] Others also urged Meloni and Lazio president Francesco Rocca to distance themselves.[89]

Germany

Use of the salute and accompanying phrases has been forbidden by law in Germany since the end of World War II. Section 86a of the German Penal Code provides for punishment of up to three years in prison for anyone using the salute, unless it is used for artistic, scientific, or educational purposes.[90]

Greece

The Greek nationalist party Golden Dawn used the Roman salute unofficially. Golden Dawn was accused by its opponents of being neo-Nazi, but the party denies this and claims that the salute was ancient Greek or Roman, and that it was used as a tribute to Ioannis Metaxas and his 4th of August Regime which led Greece against the foreign occupation forces in WWII.[91][92][93][94][95][96][97]

Syria and Lebanon

The salute employed by certain groups and their supporters, like

NDF[98] and Assad supporters,[99] the Syrian Social Nationalist Party, and the Kataeb Party.[100] Opposition fighters in Syria have also been filmed and documenting using it, or a variance thereof, on multiple occasions.[101] [unreliable source?] However, the oath of allegiance by the Lebanese army, and the salute to the flag uses the Roman salute – possibly influenced by Vichy France shortly before independence was officially gained in 1943 – still continues to be used by the state today.[102]

Portugal

In Portugal the salute is still used today by the military to take their oath to the national flag, when they successfully complete the first phase of military instruction. Formed in front of the highest symbol of national sovereignty, the military raise their right arm pointed towards the flag and take their oath.[103][104][105]

South Africa

The Afrikaner Weerstandsbeweging, a neo-Nazi political party and paramilitary force known for its advocacy of an all-white Afrikaner Volkstaat,[106][107] has used Nazi-style uniforms, flags, insignia, and salutes at meetings and public rallies.[108] Hundreds of supporters in 2010 delivered straight-arm salutes outside the funeral for its founder and former leader Eugène Terre'Blanche, who was murdered by two black farm workers over an alleged wage dispute.[109][110]

Taiwan

The Taiwanese oath of office is performed by raising a fully extended right arm with palm down and fingers touching towards the national flag and a picture of Sun Yat-sen.[111]

Red Hand of Ulster Salute

The Red Hand of Ulster Salute is a modified version of the Roman Salute in which the hand is raised vertically to symbolise the Red Hand of Ulster. It is used by some Rangers F.C. fans to show an affinity with the Loyalist cause. Its similarity to the Nazi salute has caused offence and the football club and its supporters' association have asked them not to use it. [112] [113]

In popular culture

A large number of films made after World War II made the Roman salute a visual stereotype of a proto-fascist ancient Roman society.[114] In the 1951 film Quo Vadis, Nero's repeated use of the salute at mass rallies explicitly presents the Roman Empire as a fascist military state.[115] The movie provided other filmmakers of the time a model,[114] with notable examples including Ben-Hur,[116] Spartacus,[117] Cleopatra,[118] and Caligula. Not until Gladiator did the Roman epic return to the cinema.[119] In this movie, the salute is notably absent in most scenes, for example when Commodus enters Rome or when the Senate salutes the Emperor by head-bowing.[119]

Variations on the salute also appear in

an empire characterized by sadistic violence and torture, genocide, and unquestioning obedience to authority.[122] A modified Roman salute is commonly used in the British-American series Rome.[123] Here the salute avoids similarity to the Fascist salute, as the series seeks not to depict these Romans as stereotypical conquerors.[123] Therefore, the salute is not the familiar straight arm salute but rather resembles a pectoral salute, with the right hand is placed over the heart and then extended to the front of the body.[123]

In addition to its specific contemporary use the gesture comes to express, in a fashion that appears timeless and even mystical, an appeal to a higher being and to a heroic ancient past that had served as a model for most of Western civilization for centuries, although often in ways not supported by historical fact.
