ROC or R.O.C. refers to the Republic of China, the official name of Taiwan.
Roc, ROC or R.O.C. may also refer to:
Rocé is a commune in the Loir-et-Cher department of central France.
Roc (from Persian رخ Rokh or Rukh) is an enormous legendary bird of prey.
According to the Oxford English Dictionary, this word perhaps influenced the word rook, though the chess piece term mainly stems from the Persian رخ rukh or Sanskrit रत rath, both meaning chariot (thus corresponding to the Asian chess variants).
The roc had its origins, according to Rudolph Wittkower, in the fight between the Indian solar bird Garuda and the chthonic serpent Nāga. The mytheme of Garuda carrying off an elephant that was battling a crocodile appears in two Sanskrit epics, the Mahabharata (I.1353) and the Ramayana (III.39).
The roc appears in Arabic geographies and natural history, popularized in Arabian fairy tales and sailors' folklore. Ibn Battuta (iv. 305ff) tells of a mountain hovering in the air over the China Seas, which was the roc.
The One Thousand and One Nights tales of Abd al-Rahman and Sinbad the Sailor were widespread in the East.
