An account of Julius Caesar's conquest of Gaul from 58 through 52 B.C. in a series of military campaigns. It is the only surviving account written by a great general of the classical world about his own campaigns.
Asterix and his neighbors must fight for their village when Julius Caesar gives the title deeds to a retiring Centurian as a bonus, who trades them to a tavern keeper for a drink.
Asterix and Obelix set out to rescue Cacofonix the bard who has been captured by Odius Asparagus as a present for Julius Caesar, and end up as gladiators because Caesar doesn't want the bard and throws him to the lions.
Chief Vitalstatistix rashly invites his brother-in-law, Homeopathix, to dine on a stew seasoned with Caesar's laurel wreath and Aserix and Obelix must go to Rome and acquire thewreath.
Asterix and Obelix set off to prospect for black gold in the Middle Eastern desert so the druid Getafix can create the magic potion which gives the Gaulish villagers superhuman strength.
One stormy night, a sinister little man arrives in the little Gaulish village, and Prolix says he's a soothsayer and the villagers believe everything he says, but Asterix suspects otherwise.
