The correct answer is D. Julius Caesar

Step-by-step explanation:

Julius Caesar was a famous Roman ruler and politician mainly known for his military achievements that contributed to the emergence of the Roman Empire. Besides this, Julius Caesar is considered to be the author of the Latin phrase "Veni, Vidi, vici" that in English means "I came, I saw, I conquered". Indeed, it is believed Julius Caesar used this phrase in a letter to describe the way he was victorious at a battle against Pharnaces II who was a king of another kingdom. This was not surprising, because Julius Caesar was an excellent military general and won many battles.
