The film Asterix versus Caesar made in 1985 was based on this album and Asterix the Gladiator
Obelix is in love - but the beautiful Panacea is engaged to Tragicomix, a conscript in the Roman army. Who'd have expected to see Asterix in a legionary's uniform?
When he and Obelix join up to rescue Tragicomix from North Africa, Cunturions Nefarius Purpus and Debius Status don't know what's hit them. But the Gauls and their fellow recruits have a smashing trip abroad.
