vici

I conquered, Latin

Vici is the Latin word for "I conquered," best known from Julius Caesar's boast Veni, vidi, vici—I came, I saw, I conquered.

The phrase, reporting his swift victory at Zela in 47 BCE, remains a shorthand for quick, decisive triumph.

Outside this famous trio, vici appears mainly in classical contexts or playful allusions to conquest.
