 | | The kingdom was at its height under king Ezana, baptized as Abreha, in the 300s AD (which was also when it officially embraced Christianity). |  | | Despite a 1947 United Nations agreement that the obelisk would be shipped back, Italy balked, resulting in a long-standing diplomatic dispute with the Ethiopian government, which views the obelisk as a symbol of national identity. |  | | This article is about the city of Axum. |
