		A first step towards the advent of such a monument was, however, taken earlier this year with the erection in Tewodros square of a double-life-size replica of his famous cannon (or more properly mortar) Sevastapol - so named after a famous battle in the nineteenth century Crimean War.

		The replica, it is however generally agreed, must now be accompanied by a statue of Tewodros the man: the man whose determination was responsible for the cannon.
