The Vatican newspaper says that archaeologists deciphered an ancient inscription at the

base of the obelisk. dating it to the first century before Christ.

The obelisk. standing in the heart of the square. long has been a m y st e ry. It was brought to Rome from Egypt by the Emperor Caligula. who ruled between 37 and 41 AD.

Unlikexother obelisks car- ried to Romc. it lacked Egyp- tian Iiiernglypliics.

Prof. Filippo Magi. in an ar- ticle in I'Osscrvatore. told why: It was built in Egypt for Roman Prefect. not for an Egyptian.

The prefect. Caius Cornrlius Gallus. was born in 69 B.(‘. i and committed suicide in 26 l B.C. after the Roman senate ousted him and ordered him i exiled. He had become notor- ious for living a life of excess.
