Ruling is hard. This was maybe my answer to Goscinny, whom, as much as I admire him, I do quibble with. Asterix had a very republican philosophy: that if the Chief was a good man, the land would prosper. We look at real history and it’s not that simple. Goscinny can say that Vitalstatistix became Chief and reigned henceforth, and he was wise and good. But Goscinny doesn’t ask the question: What was Vitalstatistix’s tax policy? Did he maintain a standing army? What did he do in times of flood and famine? And what about all these Romans? By the end of the war, Caesar controls all of Gallia – except for a single village. Did Vitalstatistix pursue a policy of total resistance and kill them? Even the little baby Romans, in their little roman cradles?
