You will have to do an individual project about one of the comic books (not films) of this series. Hence, we should distinguish fiction and the historical reality. They can include anachronisms (aspects that do not belong to the historical times of the story), mistakes, inaccuracies, etc. However, we have to take into account that a comic book is not a History book so they may not follow the rules of this science. Therefore, we are going to take the adventures of Asterix and Obelix as starting point for learning a bit more about how life was during the Roman times. The adventures of Asterix the Gaul are very good examples of fiction in a very adequate historical setting, adding comical gags including elements of the contemporary world.
