Obelischi egizi

Otto obelischi creati dagli antichi egizi furono trasportati a Roma dall'Egitto dopo la conquista romana.

Foto	Altezza (con base)	Nome	Faraone	Posizione	Note
File:Obelisk-Lateran.jpg	Template:032.18 m (45.70 m)	Lateranense	Tuthmosis III o Tuthmosis IV	Piazza di San Giovanni in Laterano Template:Coord	Tallest obelisk in Rome, and the largest standing ancient Egyptian obelisk in the world, originally weighing around 455 tons.^[1] From the temple of Amun in Karnak,Template:Ref and brought to Alexandria with another obelisk by Constantius II, and brought on its own from there to Rome in 357 to decorate the spina of the Circus Maximus.Template:Ref Found in three pieces in 1587, restored approximately 4 m shorter by Pope Sixtus V, and erected near the Lateran Palace and basilica of San Giovanni in Laterano in 1588 in the place of the equestrian statue of Marcus Aurelius, which was moved to the Capitoline Hill. Current version weighs around 330 tons.^[2]
File:Vatican Piazza San Pietro Obelisk slim.jpg	Template:025.5 m (41 m)^{[A 1]}	Vaticano	Unknown	St. Peter's Square Template:Coord	File:Basilica di San Pietro 1450.jpg Old St. Peter's Basilica with the obelisk at the left in its original place. Originally raised in the Forum Iulium in AlexandriaTemplate:Ref by the prefect Cornelius Gallus on Augustus' orders around 30–28 BC. No hieroglyphs. Brought to Rome by Caligula in 40 for the spina of the Vatican Circus.Template:Ref Relocated by Pope Sixtus V in 1586 using a method devised by Domenico Fontana; the first monumental obelisk raised in the modern period, it is the only obelisk in Rome that has not toppled since Roman times. During the Middle Ages, the gilt ball on top of the obelisk was believed to contain the ashes of Julius Caesar.^[3]^[4] Fontana later removed the ancient metal ball, now in a Rome museum, that stood atop the obelisk and found only dust. Pedro Tafur in his Andanças^[4]^[5] (circa 1440) mentions that many passed between the ground and the "tower" base "thinking it a saintly thing".
File:Obelisk-popolo.jpg	Template:024 m (36.50 m)	Flaminio	Seti I / Ramses II	Piazza del Popolo Template:Coord	Originally from Heliopolis.Template:Ref Brought to Rome by Augustus in 10 BC with the Solare obelisk and erected on the spina of the Circus Maximus.Template:Ref Found with the Lateranense obelisk in 1587 in two pieces and erected by Pope Sixtus V in 1589. Sculptures with lion fountains were added to the base in 1818. Weighs around 235 tons.^[2]
File:SolareObelisk cropped.jpg	Template:021.79 m (33.97 m)	Solare	Psammetichus II	Piazza di Montecitorio Template:Coord	Originally from Heliopolis.Template:Ref Brought to Rome by Augustus in 10 BC with the Flaminio obelisk to form the gnomon of the Solarium Augusti in the Campus Martius.Template:Ref Found in the 16th century but reburied. Rediscovered and erected by Pope Pius VI in front of the Palazzo Montecitorio in 1792.
File:Obelisk in piazza della rotonda rome arp.jpg	Template:06.34 m (14.52 m)	Macuteo	Ramses II	Piazza della Rotonda Template:Coord	Originally one of a pair at the Temple of Ra in Heliopolis, the other being the now much shorter Matteiano. Moved to the Temple of Isis near Santa Maria sopra Minerva. Found in 1373 near San Macuto and erected in Piazza Macuta. Moved to the front of the Pantheon by Pope Clement XI in 1711 over a fountain by Filippo Barigioni.
File:Roma Elephant Obelisk 2007-05-19 13-51-58 BW.jpg	Template:05.47 m (12.69 m)	Minerveo	Apries	Piazza della Minerva Template:Coord	Originally one of a pair from Sais. Brought to Rome by Diocletian for the nearby Temple of Isis. Found in 1655 and erected in 1667 by Pope Alexander VII on an Elephant base by Bernini, behind the Pantheon in Piazza della Minerva. The other of the pair is in Urbino. This is the smallest obelisk in Rome, with a height of 5.47 meters^[6].
File:Dogali-obelisk.jpg	Template:0? (6.34 m)	Dogali	Ramses II	Baths of Diocletian Template:Coord	Originally one of a pair from Heliopolis, the other now in the Boboli Gardens in Florence.

File:Villa Celimontana Obelisk.JPG	Template:02.68 m (12.23 m)	Matteiano	Ramses II	Villa Celimontana Template:Coord	Originally one of a pair at the Temple of Ra in Heliopolis, the other being the Macuteo which retains much more of its original height. Moved to the Temple of Isis near Santa Maria sopra Minerva. Found in the 14th century and erected east of Santa Maria in Aracoeli on the Capitoline. Moved to Villa Celimontana after Michelangelo redesigned the square in the late 16th century. Lost again; fragments rediscovered and re-erected in 1820. Smallest obelisk in Rome. Further details
