I notice all of the depictions of Romans saluting the "modern" way are Romans in more or less full uniform, or, as we use to say it, under arms.
The Trajan's column depiction shows men not under arms.
My way of interpreting this is that when under arms, the Roman soldier saluted in the "modern" way.
