Good Morning Patriots=249

Novus Ordo Seclorum=249

Original Source of NOVUS ORDO SECLORUM
Motto at the Foundation of the Unfinished Pyramid on the Great Seal

The motto Novus Ordo Seclorum was coined by Charles Thomson in June 1782. He adapted it from a line in Virgil's Eclogue IV, a pastoral poem written by the famed Roman writer in the first century B.C. that expresses the longing for a new era of peace and happiness.

The original Latin in Virgil's Eclogue IV (line 5) is:
"Magnus ab integro seclorum nascitur ordo."

For a better sense of its meaning, below are two translations (by James Rhoades and by C. S. Calverley) of the passage at the beginning of Virgil's poem which refers to the Sibyl who prophesied the fate of the Roman empire.

That key phrase (bolded in the pic) has also been translated as:
a "great series or mighty order of ages is born anew."
