VENIVIDIVICI

Veni, vidi, vici

"Veni, vidi, vici" is a Latin sentence phrase which reportedly extends from Julius Caesar's oral declaration respecting his campaign in Britain to his written comment in 47 BC on his short war with Pharnaces II of Pontus in the city of Zela . In both cases the phrase refers to a swift, conclusive victory. Veni, vidi, and vici are first person perfect forms of the three Latin verbs venire, videre, and vincere which mean "to come", "to see", and "to conquer" respectively.
