echiromani:QuirinaleThe Quirinal obelisk, of Roman origin, was originally erected on the eastern flank of the Mausoleum of Augustus (28 BC), where it was paired with the Esquiline obelisk. It was found in 1527, but it was not until 1786 that Pope Pius VI brought it to the Quirinal Hill, framing it next to the statues of the Dioscuri from the Baths of Constantine. -- source link
