Tabala (Lydia)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Coordinates: 38 ° 37 '  N , 28 ° 48'  O Tabala ( Greek  Τάβαλα ) was an ancient city in the northeastern Anatolian landscape Lydia in today Burgaz, approximately 15 km east of Kula in western Turkey.

The city was on the north bank of the Hermos River . Ancient ruins are hardly preserved. How big the territory of Tabala was is disputed in research. It is known from the coins minted there. Numerous inscriptions have since been found. The most significant of these is a petition to the Roman emperor Pertinax from 193 AD, which complains that soldiers had carried out requisitions without cause. In Roman times Tabala belonged to the judicial district ( conventus ) of Sardis in the province of Asia . The titular tabala of the Roman Catholic Church goes back to a late antique bishopric of the city .
