Species Pharnaceum trigonum

For Pharnaces II (63–47 BCE), son of Mithradates VI Emperator, King of Pontus, in North East Anatalia, on the Black Sea. He was defeated by Julius Caesar (100–140 BCE) at Sinopa, the actual occasion on which Caeser gave the extraordinarily concise message ‘veni, vidi, vici’ (‘I came, I saw, I conquered’) which he dispatched to Rome.
