The Great Seal of Connecticut

The Connecticut State Seal has changed over the years, but it still has similarities to some of the older versions of the state�s seals. The original seal had 15 grapevines on it and the motto �Sustinet Qui Transtulit� (He Who Transplanted Still Sustains). That seal was carried over to this country from England in 1639. The words �Sigillum Coloniae Connecticensis� (Seal of the Connecticut Colony) were added as the seal underwent revisions in later years.

After the Revolutionary War, as Connecticut gained statehood, the legend was changed to �Sigillum Reipublicae Connecticutensis� (Seal of the State of Connecticut). The motto �Sustinet Qui Transtulit� remains the same as on the original. And some of those grape vines that were a prominent feature of the older seals made it to the current seal (three are on the present one).
