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

Asterix and The Great Crossing finds Asterix and Obelix lost at sea. They eventually reach what they believe to be a Roman colony. However, when the Vikings appear on a voyage of discovery, they realise they have, in fact, discovered a strange New World.
