This is the 21st book in the popular Asterix series, in which Asterix and his gang are involved with Caesar's gift.

Getafix, Obelix, Dogmatix and Asterix visit Egypt to help an architect build a palace for Caesar. There they are entranced by the Sphinx, the pyramids and Cleopatra's nose.

Asterix and Obelix are celebrating their joint birthday party in the Gaulish village - and some surprising guests have been invited. Julius Caesar has to deal with his old enemy Pompey, who is looking for supporters among the legions in Gaul.

In book seven of the Asterix series, the Romans persuade a Gaulish chief to challenge Vitalstatistix to single combat. This poses no threat until Getafix is hit by a flying menhir and forgets how to make the magic potion.
