Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Which centurion tries to get hold of the receipe of the potion which makes him invulnerable, and in the end, gets sent to outer Mongolia by Caesar, as punishment?

Answer: Crismus Bonus

Although Crismus Bonus orders the druid to brew magic potion, the druid gives him a potion to make his beard grow non-stop.

2. Who is the spy sent to the households of Gergovia to find out about the chieftan's shield?

Answer: Pussilanimus

Being a drunkard, Pussilanimus gets tight and reveals his purpose of arrival to the Gauls.

3. What is the name of the special envoy of Julius Caesar in Gergovia?

Answer: Noxius Vapus

When he shouts complicated Latin words at Obelix, he simply thumps him to make matters simple! Asterix considers Vapus to be a nut-case.

4. What is the name of the Praetor of Corsica who our heroes encounter when they free Boneywasawarriorwayayix and escort him back home?

Answer: Perfidius

Boneywasawarriorwayayix, the Corsican chief, tells them that the present praetor is the greediest and the most evil.

5. Which legionary is chosen by the Roman agent to bring chaos in the village?

Answer: Magnamopus

He teaches him about psychological warfare, which Magnamopus later practices on fellow legionaries, and much later, on his centurion.

6. Which of the following is not a worker in the spring resort that Asterix and Obelix join?

Answer: Lemonjus

Actually, our heroes join it to get information about the shield, but they found out later that the person they were after, did not work there anymore.

7. Who was the first Roman to join the feast, at the end of the story?

Answer: Quaestor Sinusitus

Getafix feared that the Centurion might poison Quaestor, if left with the Romans. So, he brings him to the village to heal him, and finally, invites him to join the feast.

8. The Roman agent who Getafix heals in "Asterix in Switzerland" is the only Roman to have joined the Gaulish feast by far.

Answer: False

In "Asterix and Son", Caesar himself along with Cleopatra and their son joins the party, although it was held in the dock of Cleopatra's ship.

9. Caius Preposterus, the Economist starts buying menhirs from Obelix and deposits them in which fortified Roman camp?

Answer: Totorum

When asked by centurion Ignoramus what he was supposed to do with the menhirs, Preposterus replies "Render unto Caesar, heap big menhirs that are Caesar's".

10. Which of these Roman Generals do our heroes NOT encounter in any adventure?

Answer: Octavian

Octavian, who took up the title 'Augustus Caesar' after Actium, does not make an appearance in any of the 'Asterix' stories, for the simple reason that his time was after Julius Caesar's. Pompey comes in "Asterix and the Actress", Scipio in "Asterix the Legionary", and Brutus, in "Asterix and the Roman Agent" and "Asterix and Son".
