I'm Asterix, the hero of this adventure. Those
crazy Romans thought they'd have another
goat our little Gaulish village, and the whole
thing ended up in Rome, with splendid cele-
brations organized by Caesar in our honour. You're
about to hear how Obelix and Dogmatix and I took the
opportunity to give our old friend Julius a nice surprise.
\)_ I'm Caius Flabius Obtus, the hero of this
AZ\ adventure. Julius Caesar, Emperor of Rome,
eZ chose me to organize his triumph. And |
organized some splendid celebrations
Rome wontt forget them in a hurry. You're about to hear
how they gave the great Caesar a big surprise.: It was a lovely day: All was peace

village. The fortified Roman camp
of Totorum, on the other hand, was nothing
like as peaceful ... apparently a keen new
decurion had just arrived, and he was giving
the centurion a tough time. Geriatrix
happened to overhear them when he was out
picking mushrooms in the forest

chump

‘Hold on just one moment, Decurion
Incautius’ said the centurion. “You're new
here, right?’
‘Arrived with the last cohort, sir!’
‘A word in your ear, decurion: don't you
ever go attacking those indomitable Gauls!
This is the most dangerous village in the
whole of Gaul. And of all its inhabitants, the
two worst are a great big bloodthirsty brute
with savage ferocity written all over him, and
atiny but terrifying warrior, a total stranger to
all proper human feeling’
