Armour of God - Outer Castle Gate, Vienna

A Mitsubishi truck full of trigger-happy fellow believers races through the famous Outer Castle Gate (Äußeres Burgtor) in the middle of Vienna. The upper inscription FRANCISCVS. I. IMPERATOR. AVSTRIAE. MDCCCXXIV. stands for Franz I., Emperor of Austria. The lower inscription LAVRVM. MILITIBUS. LAVRO. DIGNIS. MDCCCCXVI. means "laurel to the soldiers worthy of the laurel 1916".
