Egyptian Obelisk at Piazza del Popolo - Obelisks on Waymarking.com

Originally from Heliopolis, the obelisk was commissioned by Seti I or Ramases II. It 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 at Piazza del Popolo. Sculptures with lion fountains were added to the base in 1818.
