Summary

This picture shows the main characters from the Asterix comics series. The villagers and Julius Caesar with his lover Cleopatra and son are in the front row. The other rows show the main characters from the first 29 comic books, up to Asterix and the Secret Weapon (1991), from left to right in each row, and then from back to front. There seems to be only one person specific to Asterix in Belgium. The pirates are in the top left of the picture, presumably because they appear in many stories.
