Being confused for a nazi

>Any else ever do a roman salute in public
No.

The Romans never did a salute like that. It was made up by painters during the Romantic Era. It was started by Jacques-Louis David's painting The Oath of the Horatii (1784).
>However, this description is unknown in Roman literature and is never mentioned by ancient historians of Rome. Not a single Roman work of art, be it sculpture, coinage, or painting, displays a salute of this kind. 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.

Closest I can come up with is Trajan's Column but soldiers do all sort of variations of that salute. So with that it may not even be a salute but something else entirely.

Also a lot of neo-nazis or white nationalist(I know that they are different) like to say they are doing the roman salute and not the Heil Hitler as wesel excuse. So I would not do that salute if you are in just plain clothes. Would only do it at reenactments if that's the salute they use there. From what I know the real salute was the right arm against the chest, but I am not entirely sure and if other known for certain should correct me on this or you should look into it.

what the fuck? who actually does this?
btw chances are that romans didnt salute with their arm like that

You should have just laughed in her face. Also historically inaccurate.

If I raise my hand to wave at someone in America, will I get arrested for hate speech?

I do it all the time.

For everyone it just translates as half-assed hand wave.

The nazi greeting requires a very specific execution, so its hard to accidentally do it.
