One small village in Britain still holds out against the Roman invaders. When the officials declare the magic potion to be a form of illegal doping, Asterix turns to his native abilities to compete. To participate in the Olympic Games in Greece, the Gauls register themselves as Romans. Unbeknown to the Gauls, he is hired by the Romans to convince the Gauls to abandon the village by that disaster would befall the village were he to be chased off. In the absence of Getafix, a fraudulent seer seeks shelter against rain in the Village, then ingratiates himself to everyone by predicting the futures they want to hear, asking no food or money, merely items to "read" the future in (mainly as food and money). Meanwhile, his rival and Caesar's agents attempt to sabotage the effort. Edifis, a bumbling, timid architect is asked to perform the miracle, and asks his old friend Getafix for help. Outraged, Cleopatra wagers with him that her people can build a grand monument in record time. To complicate matter, the soldier returns and asks the local legions' aid in reclaiming his village, since he didn't get enough wine for it.Ĭaesar calls the Egyptians inferior to the Romans. Upon discovering that his ownership is void, he campaigns to be elected chief, causing rivalries to ensue throughout the village. Pushed by his dominant wife, the innkeeper sells his property and attempts to claim the village as his own. A perpetually inebriated soldier is given the Village, by Caesar's hand, which he promptly sells to an innkeeper for wine. At the end of their career, legionaries are granted estate in the Empire to settle down.
