Obelisk of Thutmosis III

view map

Obelisk of Thutmosis III, at the base showing showing Theodosius the Great (Roman Emperor, 379-395). The obelisk is located in the Hippodrome of Constantinople. In 390, Theodosius had the obelisk cut into three pieces and brought to Constantinople. Only the top section survives, and it stands today where he placed it, on a marble pedestal.
