The story behind it
In 47 BC Julius Caesar marched against Pharnaces II, king of Pontus, who had used Rome’s civil war to seize lands in Asia Minor and defeat a Roman army. Near the town of Zela, in today’s Turkey, Caesar crushed him in one swift battle. To his friend Amantius in Rome he reported it in just three words: Veni, vidi, vici – I came, I saw, I conquered. Back in Rome, a placard with the same three words was carried in his triumph – not to describe the war, Suetonius notes, but to show how fast it had been won. The painting shows Caesar, crowned with laurel, pointing his legions into the valley as the sun sets.
Sources: Suet. Iul. 37.2; Plut. Caes. 50.3.
