Where does the custom of insulting someone with the middle finger and shouting “fuck you dude” come from? Who invented that?

Day Toetis
It’s a very old gesture. Perhaps as much as 3000 years old! So who was the first is difficult to find out. During the time of the ancient Greeks, the gesture was actually a kind of invitation to homosexual relations. With the Romans it got the meaning as we know it today. It was through them that it was spread throughout Western civilization at that time.
