These Romans are crazy! Now they’ve miraculously captured two Gauls and sent them to a Legion camp in the furthest region of the Empire, the Sahara Desert. Asterix and Obelix set off to rescue their Gaulish comrades by joining the legion, only to find that they have already escaped. The search continues and our heroes end up in the Colosseum facing Romans, gladiators and lions galore. All your favourites are back in another Gaulish adventure. Asterix, Obelix, Dogmatix, Chief Vitalstatistix, the druid Getafix, Panacea, and more! Based on the popular books by Goscinny and Uderzo.
