Remove ads
Tabala (Ancient Greek: Τάβαλα), was a Roman and Byzantine town and a Bishopric in ancient Lydia (now Turkey). Tabala was on the Hermus River, and minted its own coins.[1][2] It was probably mentioned by Hierocles under the name of Gabala,[3] which is perhaps only miswritten for Tabala. It is even possible that it may be the town of Tabae or Tabai (Τάβαι), which Stephanus of Byzantium assigns to Lydia.[4]

Its site is located near Burgaz in Asiatic Turkey.[5][6]
