Vini, Vidi, Vici?

Question

Who said that and in which war or battle or in which occassion it was said?

Answer 1

Caesar after the Battle of Zela. He had attacked Pharnaces II to mollify the East during the latter part of his Civil War with Pompey the Great (who was already dead) and the Senate traitors. The campaign and subsequent battle went so well, that Caesar wrote back to Rome using those words, Veni, Vidi, Vici: I came, I saw, I conquered. He would have eventually had to attack Pontus to recover the seven Eagle standards Crassus had lost, a task which burned in Caesar's heart.

Answer 2

I think you mean Veni, vidi, vici. This was a latin phrase and it was spoken by Julius Caesar in 47 BC. It means "I came, I saw, I conquered" and refers to his military victory in the Roman civil war over Pharnaces II of Pontus in the Battle of Zela.

Answer 4

Julius Caesar is credited with using the phrase in 55 B.C. when he "conquered" Britain.

"Veni, vidi, vici," means "I came, I saw, I conquered" but on his first visit he saw little of the country and certainly did not conquer it.

Answer 5

it' Latin, it was a roman general or a ceasar (many ceasars), it means I came,I saw, I conquered. I thnk it is when ceasar was in Engand? I could be totally wrong in this, but I got that all bouncing around in my head as soon as I saw the question, so I'll go with it!

Answer 6
