The Nec pluribus impar motto and the sun-king emblem, on a de Vallière gun, 1745.The "S" letter (for Sun) with the motto Nec pluribus impar. Dictionnaire de l'Académie Française, 1694.
Nec pluribus impar (literally: "Not unequal to many") is a Latin motto adopted by Louis XIV of France from 1658.[1] It was often inscribed together with the symbol of the "Sun King": a head within rays of sunlight. Apparently a play on the ancient motto nec plus ultra ("beyond which (there is) nothing more") (pluribus being the dative and ablative plural forms of plus and impar rhyming with ultra), its meaning has always been obscure.
