The phrase 'Veni, vidi, vinci' contains a misspelling. The correct phrase is 'Veni, vidi, vici', which means 'I came, I saw, I conquered'. The first recorded instance of the statement is by Gaius Julius Caesar [July 13, 100 B.C. - March 15, 44 B.C.]. The sentence is part of his message to the Roman Senate about his victorious battle against Pharnaces II [d. 47 B.C.] of Pontus, at Zela, in modern-day Turkey. Caesar's statement is recorded in 'Parallel Lives' by Lucius Mestrius Plutarchus ka Plutarch [c. A.D. 46-120], and in 'Life of the 12 Caesars' by Gaius Suetonius Tranquillus ka Suetonius [c. 69/75-after 130].

What is the correct pronunciation of 'Veni vidi vici'?
No one can say for certain just how Julius Caesar and his contemporaries pronounced their Latin. The best guess for the pronunciation of "veni, vedi, vici" is still "vee nay, vee dee, vee cee." The "w" and hard consonant ("wen nee, wed dee, wiki") first showed up in sixteenth century England and was probably an out-growth of the Protestant Reformation which sought to rid itself of any ties to the Catholic Church and its Latin which has been in use since the first century AD. Whose "correct" is better? There are different opinions of how "Veni, vidi, vice." should be pronounced even among mutually respected scholars: in church Latin, "Vaynee, veedee, veechee." is generally considered correct, while the most common classical pronunciation is "Waynee, weedee, weekee." Most Latin scholars currently teaching or studying Latin go with the classical pronunciation, but the church pronunciation is still common with those who studied Latin more than 20 years ago or not at all.
