I don't have access to my books at the moment but I thought the 'gladiator salute' was first used by a group of gladiators to the emperor Claudius and that his glib retort caused them to withdraw in protest from the fight (at least temporarily). I'll go back and look up the source and get back to you. <p></p><i></i>
