Found a reference to a salutatio more militari (salute in the military manner) today. So there was one at least.<br>
It's in Ps.Caesar, African War 85, Scipio's troops have been defeated at Thapsus (46 BC) and abandoning all hope of salvation "gave the military salute by lowering their arms [as in weapons]" (Lat: armis demissis salutationem more militari faciunt). Since this was written by Hirtius or one of his officers, we may well assume they knew what they were talking about when they mention a military salute.<br>
