Julius Caesar proclaimed his celebrated words, “Veni, Vidi, Vici” (I came, I saw, I conquered) in Turkey when he defeated the Pontus, a formidable kingdom in the Black Sea region of Turkey…. Part of Turkey’s southwestern shore was a wedding gift that Mark Anthony gave to Cleopatra…. The Famous Trojan Wars took place in western Turkey, around the site where a wooden statue of the Trojan Horse rests today.
