I wonder how much of a coincidence it is that the Virginia state flag contains the Latin phrase shouted by John Wilkes Booth after he shot Lincoln.
I believe Booth got it from a play, so unrelated. But it was probably a more popular phrase before Booth used it.
I believe its from the play Caesar by Shakespeare
