The whole "Roman salute" thing needs some clarification. There's no such thing as a "Roman salute". It was made up by fascists in Italy and then copied by the nazi regime. Only fascists use it. End of story.

1. A screenshot of the Wikipedia entry on the "Roman salute", it says: The Roman salute, also known as the Fascist 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. According to an apocryphal legend, the fascist gesture was based on a customary greeting which was allegedly used in ancient Rome. However, no Roman text describes such a gesture, and the Roman works of art that display salutational gestures bear little resemblance to the modern so-called "Roman" salute.
