The Obelisk of Theodosius ((トルコ語:Dikilitaş)) is the Ancient Egyptian obelisk of Pharaoh Thutmose III re-erected in the Hippodrome of Constantinople (known today as ''At Meydanı'' or ''Sultanahmet Meydanı'', in the modern city of Istanbul, Turkey) by the Roman emperor Theodosius I in the 4th century AD. ==History== The obelisk was first set up by Thutmose III (1479–1425 BC) to the south of the seventh pylon of the great temple of Karnak. The Roman emperor Constantius II (337–361 AD) had it and another obelisk transported along the river Nile to Alexandria to commemorate his ''ventennalia'' or 20 years on the throne in 357. The other obelisk was erected on the ''spina'' of the Circus Maximus in Rome in the autumn of that year, and is today known as the Lateran obelisk, whilst the obelisk that would become the obelisk of Theodosius remained in Alexandria until 390, when Theodosius I (378–392 AD) had it transported to Constantinople and put up on the ''spina'' of the Hippodrome there.〔Labib Habachi, ''The Obelisks of Egypt, skyscrapers of the past'', American University in Cairo Press, 1985, p.145-151.〕
