Synopsis
Excerpt from Rovine di Antiche Città con Racconti Generali e Politici, Vol. 2
In questa città Sesostri (i) innalzò due obelischi d'una pietra durissima tratta dalle carriere di Siena, all'estremità dell'egitto, ciascuno dei quali era alto 120 cubiti, vale a dire 180 piedi. Augusto impe ratore, ridotto l'egitto a provincia dell' impero ro mano, ordinò che questi due obelischi (uno dei quali fu quindi fatto a pezzi), venissero trasportati a Roma, ma non ardi smuoverne un terzo, comeche d'una mole prodigiosa. Questo era stato innalzato sotto il regno di Ramsele, e si dice che vi fossero adoperati uomini; Costanzo, più ardimen teso di Augusto, diede ordine di portarlo a Roma. Due di questi obelischi si possono ancora vedere, come pure un altro di 100 cubiti, alto 25 tese. Caio Cesare l'imbareò dall'egitto sopra un legno di forma cosi bizzarra, che, secondo Plinio, non si era mai vista l'egnaie.
