Interesting. TIL. I also learned this from Wikipedia-

A joke referencing the image on the seal that dates as far back as the Civil War, is that "Sic semper tyrannis" actually means "Get your foot off my neck."

I think it was explicitly a Julius Caesar reference. He was also a Shakespearean actor.
