From the site of Ukrainian
Heraldry: "The town was founded in the VI century B.C.
In the first century A.D. it became dependent on Rome. In the
XIII century the Genoese fortress Kafa existed there. In 1475 the
town was captured by Turkey. The town got the modern name after
joining the Russian Empire in 1784. The most ancient Tartar
symbol of Kafa was a gules tamga (symbol of power) with a
crescent in an argent field which also was a symbol of power."
