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 The Goths is the third instalment of this beloved series. Once again, Getafix is kidnapped, this time by a raiding band of Goths. Asterix and Obelix follow them into Germania and, in the process of rescuing their druid, set off a whole series of tribal wars.
