As a curiosity about this book is to realize that there is an explicit allusion to a painting by Rembrandt. Just look at the last bullet on page 10 and see that it is the painting "The Anatomy Lesson."

This is the only Asterix stories in which the Romans manage to occupy the village because its inhabitants abandoned the superstitions that gives them the seer. In fact, the centurion of Compendium, Caius Norterajus, have the luxury of sending an emissary to Rome to send a message to Julius Caesar: "All Gaul is occupied." The occupation is very short due to the magic of Panoramix, which makes the lining back to their camp.
