The Sacred Antinous Obelisk

The Most Important surviving document of the Ancient Religion of Antinous
Carved in Heiroglyphs on the four faces of the Sacred Obelisk of Antinous
It was comissioned by Hadrian and may have once stood
In the courtyard of the Antinoeion Sanctuary at Hadrian's Villa in Tivoli
It now stands on the Pincian Hill in Rome
