Asterix an Gladaidheatair

When the Romans take Pongailix, the Gaulish village bard, to Rome as a gift for Julius Caesar, Asterix and Obelix set off on a daring mission to rescue him. But Pongailix has been locked away in the Circus Maximus where an audience with the lions awaits him. Saving Pongailix from this terrible fate proves difficult for Asterix and Obelix – until they manage to find work guaranteed to give them a way into the arena. The Roman crowd is in for an extraordinary show when Asterix and Obelix step out as gladiators!
