A Historical Perspective:
Lusitania, an ancient Roman province, once stretched across much of the land that is now Portugal and parts of western Spain. The region was renowned for its fierce resistance against the Roman Empire, led by warriors like Viriathus, whose spirit mirrors the Gauls' unyielding battles against Rome in the Asterix series[2].
With Portugal's vibrant history and culture proudly on display, this upcoming adventure promises to strike a chord with both ardent Asterix fans and voyagers eager to explore the Iberian Peninsula through the eyes of our fearless heroes. So, keep those calendars marked, and prepare for an adventure that will truly leave you spellbound!
