Thanks for your patience and understanding gentlemen!

Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, Merlot in one hand, Cigar in the other; body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming "WOO HOO, what a ride!
Well, Brian was on the right track, but the wrong side.
Duncan, yes, you are Spot on!
This well/cistern, is actually right outside the entrance to the stairs to the underground cistern,
IIRC, these pics are a few years old. There is another entrance through the citidel walls from the small courtyeard this well and the underground cistern entance are in, I guess an escape/sally port.

It's looking familiar. Behind the Pantheon in Rome, if I remember correctly.
The obelisk probably from Egypt or transported by the Romans from there or from the Issis - Minerva temple that was somewhere near(guessing).

Quite correct -- well done! It's an Egyptian obelisk supposedly marking the general area of Domitian's Temple of Isis, behind the Pantheon in Rome.
