What is Asterix the Gaul about?
In 50 BC, nearly all Gaul has been conquered by the Romans—except for one small village that refuses to surrender. Asterix, a clever and fearless warrior, and his enormous friend Obelix defend their home with help from the village druid’s magic potion. When a Roman spy tries to discover their secret, the villagers must outwit Caesar’s soldiers while protecting their freedom. Packed with battles, jokes and playful twists on history, this comic adventure introduces the indomitable Gauls.
