Caesar in the East



Caesar was in pursue of Pompey in Alexandria, when he was entangled with the Egyptian government. He was attacked by the Egyptian government. His few men helped him get out of the fight. When the fighting was over, Caesar did not leave Egypt but stayed as a guest to Cleopatra.

Caesar than went to see king Parnaces, before he returned Rome. He settled his disbute by winning a small battle over Asia Minor (Turkey). He sent the Roman Empire a very powerful message:

Veni, Vidi, Vici!

I came, I saw, I conquered!
