15k Gold & Bloodstone Seal Of A Family Crest With Motto "Aquila Non Capit Muscas" [The Eagle does not Catch Flies] , England Circa 1830 H: 1-1/4" L: 1" D: 7/8" aquila non capit muscas means the eagle does not catch flies. In ancient Rome, eagles were considered majestic animals. Conversely, flies were considered insignificant and a nuisance. Therefore this proverb was used to imply that people of high rank (the eagle) won’t have the time or patience to deal with trifling matters (flies). |
