A solis ortu usque ad occasum

A solis ortu usque ad occasum is a Latin heraldic motto roughly meaning "From sunrise to sunset".

[2] Most often cited in the coat of arms of many former Kings of Spain above the crest, it is distinctive in its placement above the crest similar to the Scottish style in slogans versus placement below the escutcheon or order if present.

With this element it was intended to manifest that the sun did not set in the dominions of the Spanish Empire, since these were located in both hemispheres.

This motto echoed a famous phrase, "en mis dominios no se pone el sol" (in my dominions the sun does not set), attributed to King Philip II.
