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

Asterix: Obelix and Co. is Julius Caesar's 23rd cunning attack on the indomitable Gauls. He sends Caius Preposterus, a bright young graduate of the Latin School of Economics, to corrupt them by introducing them to big business. But do wealth and success bring happiness?
