Novus ordo seclorum ( lat. ) - literally means "a new order of centuries" [1] [2] [3] .
These words are a hint at the 5th and 4th eclogues of the poet Virgil Maron Publius ( Publius Vergilius Maro ): Magnus ab integro saeclorum nascitur ordo [4] - “A magnificent order is conceived in Syznova nowadays . Charles Thomson, the creator of the US state press, once wrote that these words especially clearly describe all the beginnings of the new era of the United States. [2]
This is one of the two mottos on the back of the Great Seal of the United States . [1] (The first motto is Annuit cœptis , literally translated as “he approved our undertakings.”) These words were first published as a motto in 1782 [5] . Also, the reverse side of the Great Seal of the United States with this motto since 1935 is depicted on one-dollar banknotes . Adherents of the conspiracy theory, the phrase Novus ordo seclorum is translated as “The New World Order ”.
