[on Asterix]
?jevind L?ngTortuous Convolvulus in the name used in the English translation of 'Asterix and the Roman Agent'. It is quite instructive to see how the Gauls eventually defeat him...
And 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.<snip>
[He] 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.There wasn't one in the English translation.
