Comma splice or not.

i came, i saw, i conquered.

Is there a term for when the sentence han an allowable comma splice. Like in this usage?

I came, I saw, I conquered is a stylistic translation of the Latin words veni vidi vici Latin grammar did not concern itself about comma splices. Incidentally, my understanding is that some modern historians now claim what Caesar actually said was the more idiomatic Latin veni vidi velcro which means I came, I saw, I stuck around Clive
