There you are, innocently eating tapas at a restaurant, when you hear boss fight music behind you:
(He’ll have the Caesar salad, gracias.)
This 10 meter tall statue of Augustus looms over Puerta Cinegia Gastronómica, a dining/shopping mall in Zaragoza, Spain. Augustus founded the town as Caesaraugusta (hence Zara-agoza) over 2000 years ago as a colony for veterans of the Cantabrian Wars, and many Roman ruins are still visible. I now want to visit Zaragoza.
Everyone commenting “This is terrifying”:
A) You are 100% correct!
B) This is only the top half of the statue. He has feet!
And C) they had to take apart and reassemble him to fit him inside the building! Ever wanted to see a Roman emperor topless?
He’s just standing there. Menacingly. Ruining people’s lunches.
