Invicta (motto)

Roma invicta is a Latin phrase, meaning "Unconquered Rome", inscribed on a statue in Rome.[which?]

This symbolic statement was later printed onto gold coins, to help boost the morale of the failing Empire.

Leaving the battle site at Hastings, William marched on to London on his way to the (then) capital Winchester.

The monument, sculpted by Hilary Stratton and unveiled in 1958, was moved in the early 1960s due to the construction of the A2 dual carriageway.

Their request was granted and from that day the motto of Kent has been INVICTA meaning Unconquered.Because Dover and Kent were not besieged or defeated on William's march, but instead the people demanded and received preservation of their rights in exchange for acknowledging his kingship and peace, they were therefore not conquered by him.
