Barefoot Emperor Marsden Philip
On one of Addis Ababa's main roundabouts today sits a huge recently installed mortar. In 1867, as his kingdom collapsed around him, Theodore retreated to his mountain-top stronghold in Magdala. This is a replica of 'Sevastopol', a 70-ton lump of ordnance commissioned by one of the most extraordinary leaders Africa has ever produced - King of Kings of Ethiopia, the Emperor Theodore.
Their object: to rescue the British consul and sixty Europeans, held prisoner by the increasingly erratic Theodore, It took his army six months to haul 'Sevastopol' through the gauges and passes of the highlands.Sixty miles to the north, a British expeditionary force under Sir Robert Napier - consisting of more than 10,000 fighting men, at least as many followers and 20,000 pack-animals, including a number of Indian elephants - had been ferried to the Red Sea Coast and built a railway line through the desert.
