Veni, vidi, vici is a famous Latin phrase coined by Roman general Julius Caesar in 47 BCE; Caesar used the phrase as the full text of his message to the Roman senate describing his recent victory over Pharnaces II of Pontus in the Battle of Zela.

In the 1990s, for example, T-shirts were available with the line, "Veni, vidi, veggie: I came. I saw. I had a salad."
