Whether as a film or a comic - the story of Asterix and his small Gallic village, whose inhabitants offer fierce resistance to the Romans, is cult! But did this resistance really exist and what were the Gauls like? Was wild boar their favorite dish, were checked trousers fashionable and what about the magic potion? We'll clarify this with none other than @MrWissen2go Mirko Drotschmann. #asterix #history #reaction A big thank you goes out to Mirko, who debunked all the myths about the "Gauls" for us.
