  • Why did Sixtus V and Baroque Rome invest so much in relocating and “Christianizing” obelisks? What theological and political messages do the crosses convey?
  • How do the Vatican and Lateran moves demonstrate Renaissance problem-solving—calculation, materials, friction, heat—and respect for ancient methods?
  • In what ways do the Navona and Sallustian obelisks illustrate Rome’s habit of imitation and re-contextualization of the past?
  • How does Shelley’s Ozymandias reframe what we “see” when we look at an obelisk in a Christian capital?
