Photo Challenge - Day 11

Today's theme is 'something old'.  I walk past this something old several times a day.

 I am not sure what this statue represents but it reminds me of safety in that if a fire breaks out this giant Roman soldier will come put it out and rescue all of us!  There is not a plaque to aid in the understanding of this statue thing but I find it interesting nonetheless.

Sorry for the grainy picture but this plaque is close to the exit of the path we walk to get to the ubahn or many stores.  The sign says Czernin - Passage built 1898.  I think that counts as old.  :)
