In the album "Asterix in Britain" Julius Caesar has invaded Britain and the the British defense is lead by Chief Cassivellaunus, Ceaser is wining mainly because the Britons stop fighting every day to drink hot water (with a drop of milk) and they refuse to fight over the weekend.
But there is also some truth behind the Asterix comics: Cassivellaunus was actually a historical British tribal chief who led the defence against Julius Caesar's second expedition to Britain in 54 BC. He led an alliance of tribes against Roman forces, but eventually surrendered after his location was revealed to Julius Caesar by defeated Britons.
As there is some truth behind this story and just because I actually found a bigger figure in Tallinn that could work as a real human Cassivellaunus I came up with the brilliant idea to do some geeky painting, match the small one with the bigger one...
