Taubenus

Taubenus is a minor Roman character appearing in the Asterix universe, first introduced in the fifteenth Asterix album. He inhabits the comedic world of Gauls and Romans made famous by Goscinny and Uderzo, sharing the stage with figures like Obelix and Julius Caesar.

Born into the pages of a 1973 Asterix adventure under the creative hands of René Goscinny and Albert Uderzo, Taubenus is a Bronze Age comics figure whose presence has quietly persisted across an impressive 45-year span. Appearing most notably within the beloved Asterix and Asterix Mundart series from Egmont Ehapa, this character keeps remarkable company — sharing panels with the likes of Obelix, Julius Cäsar, and Automatix across a handful of carefully counted appearances. With only six catalog entries to their name, Taubenus is the kind of discovery that rewards the dedicated Asterix devotee who loves to dig deeper into the rich, layered world Goscinny and Uderzo built. A rare find for the thorough collector!
