First album edition: 1969
Financial skullduggery in ancient Gaul! When local chief Whosemoralsarelastix wants a cauldron full of money kept out of Roman hands, the cash disappears while Asterix is guarding it.
He and Obelix must earn enough to repay it through fairground gladiatorial contents, trendy theatrical performances, even bank robbery – they’ll try anything. But whose morals are really elastic? And how do the pirates, just for once, get an unexpected bonus?
What the druids have to say about the album
Might greed get the better of village unity? René Goscinny and Albert Uderzo had not yet studied this dreadful characteristic of human nature. Fortunately, Asterix, Obelix and Getafix are here!
The caricature of our human comedy becomes more pronounced with every album. Had René and Albert been affected by the atmosphere at Pilote magazine after the May 1968 events in France? The quality of their work is still very much to the fore.
