Trivia Answer
"Veni, vidi, vici"; ("I came, I saw, I conquered.") is a Latin phrase
popularly attributed to Julius Caesar, who used the phrase in a
letter to the Roman Senate around 46 BC after he had achieved a
quick victory in his short war against Pharnaces II of Pontus at the
Battle of Zela. The phrase is used to refer to a swift, conclusive
victory. Variations of the sentence "Veni, vidi, vici" are often
quoted, and also used in music, art, literature, and entertainment
