EXTRABrit,
You remember your Highschool Latin well...VENI VIDI VICI who said it, and on what occasion?
-

If my Latin is not rusty Yeru.. I would say...
Veni Vidi Vici is translated into English as:
"I came, I saw, I conquered."
If I am not mistaken this was first uttered by Caesar when reporting about his victory in battle.

Or how about this infamous Latin phrase?
Semper paratus. (popular among some military branches or units as a motto)

Ha, I see Reborn carpe diem'd the veni, vidi, vici. He's semper paratus, alright.
Well how about this well-known *cough* motto of the Roman Police (discovered by Terry Pratchett):
FABRICATI DIEM, PVNC.
Expatbrit, excretus ex fortuna

Reborn,
CORRECT! Specifically, when Caesar conquered (or reconquered Cilicia, Asia Province, Bithynia, and Pontus. He did this in the middle of the Roman Civil War between the forces of Caesor and those loyal to the now dead Pompeius Magnus.
Semper Paratus..."Always Ready" I believe...a more common phrase in the military is "Semper Gumbi" which is "Always Flexible"
