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 Cleopatra is the sixth book in the series. It follows Getafix, Obelix, Dogmatix, and Asterix as they visit Egypt to help an architect build a palace for Caesar.

In Egypt, they are entranced by the wonders of the Sphinx, the pyramids, and, notably, Cleopatra's nose.
