Heliopolis Origin of the Flaminio Obelisk in Rome's Piazza del Popolo

The Flaminio Obelisk, one of the ancient obelisks in Rome, may be the second-most ancient, or even the most ancient. It was originally erected in Heliopolis, Egypt, then moved to Rome by Caesar Augustus during the Roman conquest. The obelisk spent some time in the Circus Maximus before being moved to its present location in Piazza del Popolo in 1589. The Flaminio Obelisk stands 24 meters tall and, including the base, is 24 meters high. Commissioned by Pharaoh Seti I and completed under Rameses II, it is crafted from red Aswan granite and showcases hieroglyphics inscriptions.
