With Alix, Jacques Martin has built an original and unique work, a true reference for lovers of the history of Antiquity. In this volume of Alix's travels, he invites us to discover the time at which the adventures of his young hero take place. The ancient world is here approached in an original way, since it is through his dress habits and his costume that the author describes. The historical rigor of this work makes it an indispensable complement to the wise readers of Alix, but also a valuable guide for the feruses of Antiquity. In the next album, Alix will show us the city of Carthage.
