i came i saw i conqured.who said it? when?why?

Answer 1

Veni, vidi, vici is a famous Latin phrase coined by Roman general and consul Julius Caesar in 47 BC; 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. Caesar's terse remark -- translated as "I came, I saw, I conquered" -- simultaneously proclaimed the totality of his victory and served to remind the senate of Caesar's military prowess (Caesar was still in the midst of a civil war); alternatively, the remark can be viewed as an expression of Caesar's contempt for the patrician senate, traditionally representing the most powerful group in the Roman Republic.

Answer 3

Gaius Julius Caesar.

The rapidity of Caesar's advance stunned Pompey, who was forced to withdraw the senatorial legions to Greece and abandon Rome and Italy to Caesar. Caesar pursued him and, despite being outnumbered, defeated the senatorial faction at the Battle of Pharsalos on 9 August 48 BC. Pompey escaped to Egypt, pursued by Caesar, but was murdered by agents of Ptolemy XIII. Caesar wintered in Alexandria, putting down a civil war between Ptolemy and his sister Cleopatra VII in Cleopatra's favour and beginning a romantic relationship with the Egyptian queen. The following summer he returned to Asia and fought a brief war with Pharnaces, son of Mithridates, summing up the campaign with his famous, "Veni, vidi, vinci" ("I came, I saw, I conquered").

Answer 4

Julius Caesar wrote this to the Roman Senate in 47 B.C., after he defeated King Pharnaces in his first attempt, in the Battle of Zela (Asia Minor, today Turkey).
