Gaul was divided into three parts. No, four parts — for one small village of indomitable Gauls still held out against the Roman invaders.

Asterix: Asterix and Caesar's Gift (Book 21) begins with Legionary Tremensdelirius being demobilised from the Roman army. He receives the title deeds to the little Gaulish village. Soon, however, he swaps them for a drink in a tavern.

The landlord Orthopaedix, his wife Angina, and their daughter Influenza set off to claim their rights. Strange to say, Asterix and his friends don't see it quite the same way.
