Rohat Kermen

Rohat Kermen is a historical name placed in the lower Dnipro country near the later Hornostaivka. The river here crossed the steppe north of Crimea, a region in which the Crimean khans' power and the movements of pastoral communities shaped the frontier. Farther downstream, forts at the Tavan crossing gave the khanate and its Ottoman allies a means of controlling passage across the river.
