He was unironically larping as an Ancient Roman (since Napoleon was a huge Romeaboo). Funnily enough this larping would then take on an identity of its own when people later in the 19th and early 20th centuries did the same but with the intention of larping as Napoleon.

It makes your hand feel good and it's pretty aesthetic.

iirc it was something from ancient greeks, one guy i forgot the name said something about having your right hand in your toga is the most 1337 thing so since napoleon and some others actually were larpers we get this

It is a Masonic sign that became popular with the rise of the Rothschild banking dynasty which in coordination with the very powerful lodges of the time orchestrated everything from the Napoleonic wars, American revolution, and later French revolution, to death of the Aristocracy from two World Wars. Rothschild was indeed the Master of the Second Veil.

Did Romans really have 1 hand stuck in their toga all the time or is that just an 18th century meme?

Julian Cruz
Googled "men from 1870"

My personal theory is that it's a meme. A meme in the true definition.
Meme:
>A meme acts as a unit for carrying cultural ideas, symbols, or practices, that can be transmitted from one mind to another through writing, speech, gestures, rituals, or other imitable phenomena with a mimicked theme.
People saw Napoleon do it, so they did it, and the next generation copied them, etc. Napoleon probably based the pose off of Greeks and Romans
