2 unusual facts about Asterix and the Normans


Asterix and the Normans

The book's encounter between Romans, Gauls and Normans during the age of Caesar is thus an anachronism; indeed, the Norman chief tells the Gauls that they do not want to invade their country, but their descendants will do some centuries later (they even briefly reference 1066).

In the original French it is 'Les Monkiix,' referring to The Monkees.
