The underlying question, why the obsession with Latin and symbology in government?

NOVUS ORDO SECLORUM
E PLURIBUS UNUM
ANNUIT COEPTIS
Regarding 'The Great Seal of The United States' on our dollar.
Someone's analysis:
"The number of states in America at the time of independence, 13, was no coincidence. On the two sides of the Great Seal you find 13 stars above the head of the eagle. The motto E Pluribus Unum has 13 letters, as does Annuit Coeptis. The eagle holds 13 leaves with 13 berries in its right talon and 13 arrows in the left. The stones on the pyramid is arranged in 13 rows."
