  In Augustus’ day, the obelisk acted as a sundial and calendar, aligned to cast a shadow across the solarium altar on the emperor’s birthday.

  Brought to Rome by Augustus in 10 BC together with the Flaminio, it was erected as the gnomon of the Solarium Augusti in Campus Martius. Pius VI Braschi put in on piazza Montecitorio in 1792.
