Synopsis
Jules César nargue Cléopâtre: the Romans build splendid temples and forums whereas the Egyptians do not build anything any more since the pyramids. Upset, Cléopâtre charges its architect Numérobis with building a palate for César in three months. For Numérobis, its only chance to come at the end of this task in spite of the obstruction from the Romans is to ask for the assistance of his/her old friend Panoramix. The druid thus leaves for Egypt to lend to him hand-strong, accompanied by Astérix and Obélix.
