At the end of their career, legionaries are granted plots of land in Roman colonies for retirement.

To complicate matter, the soldier arrives and asks the local legions' aid in reclaiming his village, since he didn't get enough wine for it.

Uderzo’s final Asterix book is a franchise low-point. Bizarrely, it’s a satire of the French comic industry and a tribute to Walt Disney. Neither of these themes explains a story about two warring factions of aliens – it ventures too far from usual Asterix territory to feel like part of the series. As with other lesser Uderzo efforts the plotline relies on Getafix’s various potions for momentum.

Caesar sends one of his advisors to the Gaulish village, in an effort to make them rich, decadent and utterly dependent on Rome. He starts by buying menhirs at ever-increasing prices, thus persuading most of the village to make useless menhirs, and in turn employing other villagers to hunt for their food.
