Khazar-Roshni

Cities of Khazaria. Kromos Estatium
======================
     The khazar cities here include not only those cities that were built by the khazar architects, but also those that were built before the arrival of the khazars, were used by the khazars for their needs and tasks for a long time.
=======================

Khazar-Roshni **
     According to legend, the city with this name in the 10th century was the headquarters of the khazar Tudun. It is assumed that this headquarters of Tudun was located near the present village of Roshni-Chu in present-day Chechnya, which was once called Khazar-Roshni and, according to the elders, was very large.
     No archaeological research has been conducted here. So the possibility of the existence of a khazar fortress and a city attached to it remains in the realm of myths and legends, but not without some grounds, since the Kumyk trade Route passed near this place, along which the caravans of the Great Silk Road passed.
     The second word « roshni» in the name of the city is derived from the biblical word «rosh», what does the main. Hence there is a connection with the possible presence of the khazar governor here.
     You can try to make it from the word «rus», which could be nailed to the first root during the conquest of Chechnya by the army of the Russian Empire.
     The most likely version is based on the fact that the city was located on one of the banks of the Roshnya river flowing here in the right Sunza basin of the Kumyk platform.
