The monument in honour of Officer Skarlatos Rosetis, who was killed when heroically fighting during the 1st Balkan War, stands at the site of Prophet Elias’ Church, in the vicinity of Elliniko, a village in the Municipality of North Tzoumerka of the Prefecture of Ioannina. It is encountered when arriving from Ioannina, before reaching the village. Scarlatos Rosetis was born in Athens in 1892 and attended the Hellenic Army Academy. His father, Sotirios Rosetis was a Major of the Greek Army.

During the 1st Balkan War, Sergeant Scarlatos Rosetis was sent to the battlefields of Bizani serving as adjutant το Captain Stavros Rigas. In December, the Ottoman forces were pushed back beyond the external perimeter of Bizani fortifications and the battle at Bizani went on the following day, with the Greeks approaching the retrenchment at a distance of 500 metres. On 5 December 1912 there was a Turkish attack against the Greek Evzonoi forces. According to Captain Stavros Rigas, Skarlatos Rosetis was seen fighting Ottoman soldiers with his bayonet; as the enemy retreated, the young officer continued to fight bravely and found himself in the front line. Rosetis boldly protected a Greek guard from a gigantic opponent; men of the Ottoman army noticed what was happening and rushed to the scene killing both Greeks. Rosetis was the first Military Academy graduate to die fighting like a hero to liberate Ioannina; this is why an annual commemorative event is held on 5 December to pay tribute to him.

Today, at the peak of Aetorrachi, at the location of Profitis Ilias, facing Elliniko, Ioannina, stands his bust exactly where the young officer died and was buried, near the small chapel that was rebuilt in his honour.
