echiromani:FlaminioOriginally from Heliopolis, where it was erected by Seti I or Ramses II (c. 1280 BC), this obelisk was brought to Rome by Augustus in 10 BC with the Solare obelisk and erected on the spina of the Circus Maximus. It was found with the Lateranense obelisk in 1587 in two pieces and erected by Pope Sixtus V in 1589. The sculptures with lion fountains were added to the base in 1818. It now stands in the Piazza del Popolo. -- source link
