Courtesy of wikipedia:
"Veni, vidi, vici" (Classical Latin: /ˈweːniː ˈwiːdiː ˈwiːkiː/; Ecclesiastical Latin: /ˈvɛni ˈvidi ˈvitʃi/; I came, I saw, I conquered.) is a famous Latin sentence reportedly written by Julius Caesar in 47 BC as a comment on his short war with Pharnaces II of Pontus in the city of Zela (currently known as Zile, in Turkey).[1]

Wasn't he a dictator of some sort? If not, I know he was in charge of Rome or Athens at one point... So, he wrote it because he came to Rome/Athens, he saw it, and conquered it.0
