Veni, vidi, vici translates to "I came, I saw, I conquered." It was used by Caesar when he spoke to the Roman senate about his victory over Pharnaces II of Pontus in the Battle of Zela. Some scholars say it is a remark about Caesar's contempt for the patrician senate.

After spending the first months of 47 BC in Egypt, Caesar went to the Middle East, where he annihilated King Pharnaces II of Pontus in the battle of Zela; his victory was so swift and complete that he commemorated it with the words Veni, vidi, vici ("I came, I saw, I conquered").
