Gaul was divided into three parts. No, four parts - for one small village of indomitable Gauls still held out against the Roman invaders. BOOK 24Chief Vitalstatistix of the little Gaulish village holding out against the Roman legions is horrified to hear that Caesar has called the Belgian tribes, not the Gauls, the bravest he knows. With Asterix and Obelix, the chief goes off to confront the Belgians - who turn out to be very like the Gauls.
