Veni Vidi Vici
Filed under: add to del.icio.us
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. The phrase translates to "I came, I saw, I conquered" and is today commonly used in business and popular culture. In the 1990s, for example, T-shirts were available with the line, "Veni, vidi, veggie: I came. I saw. I had a salad."
