obelisk ship
Obelisk ships were ships used to transport obelisks.
Today, eight Ancient Egyptian obelisks stand in Rome, though not in their original places. The first of the obelisks, the 263 ton Flaminian obelisk, was transported from Heliopolis – modern-day Cairo - in 10 B.C. while the last, the 500 ton Lateran obelisk, was transported from Karnak.
==Descriptions==
There are only two recorded texts describing the ships that transported the obelisks from Egypt across the Mediterranean to Rome. The first recorded text is from Pliny the Elder (AD 23 – 79), who described the great ships that transported the Vatican obelisk in 40 AD under the emperor Caligula. The second description comes from Ammianus Marcellinus (AD 330 – 393), who describes the ships that transported the Lateran Obelisk in 357 AD.
