Yuk TangAnd then there is the episode where the pirates mean to board a ship transporting Caesar's latest secret weapon against the Gauls north. The weapon is an odious little person called Semper Batallius, whose gift is the ability to make all people quarrel. (He was once sentenced to be eaten by lions at the Colosseum, but when he walked into the arena, the lions all attacked and ate each other.) Semper Batallius (whatever his name may be in other languages than Swedish Latin) instantly sows such discord among the pirates that one of them scuttles the ship to spite the rest. I don't remember the inevitable Latin tag after that one. (To Americans:) Try to ge hold of a British translation of Asterix! They can probably be procured in Canada. [D & RC]

And then there is that crowd of pirates whose ship always, inevitably, gets sunk... One of them loves quoting classical Latin tags, for example.
I liked the episode where Asterix decides to spare the ship, but then the pirates run into the Roman fleet.
