.

Secret Defence "Le Pilum Helvète" - Le Défi de César. It's like a Swiss Armyknife to enjoy wine and cheese. Asterix and Obelix went to Helvetica, in history it could be real.

 

Helvetica - the modern data code for Switzerland, CH, is derived from Latin Confoederatio Helvetica (English: Helvetic Confederation). Geneva first appears in history as an Allobrogian border town, fortified against the Celtic Helvetii tribe, which the Romans took in 121 BC. In 58 BC, Caesar, Roman governor of Gaul, destroyed the Rhône bridge at Geneva and built a 19-mile earthwork from Lake Geneva to the Jura Mountains in order to block the migration of the Helvetii. Then he helped establish Geneva as a Roman city (vicus and then civitas) by setting up camp there and significantly increasing its size.
