" would be great if only it really fitted, but I think my proposal above is actually more accurate. So the translation also has to be snappy. But the "Veni, vidi, vici" is of course a slogan - it got taken up by the Roman public partly because it is so snappy, and really saved Caesar´s skin. What Caesar might have said when he got back to Rome could have been "I arrived, I looked around, I conquered". But in English "I came" only works if you are still there, so I am really not sure that this standard translation is correct. So he didn´t stay after the victory, he rushed straight back to Rome, and said this. This was a lightning supression of a rebellion, which was exactly what Caesar needed because of his political problems in Rome. This was the victory over Pharmaces, a rebellious king somewhere in what is now Turkey. But is it really correct?Īs Leff, says, it is Caesar´s report to the Roman Senate of a victory. The first answer is the standard translation, which has been taught in schools, including mine, for over a hundred years.
