Tabala (Ancient Greek:Τάβαλα), was aRoman andByzantinetown and aBishopric inancient Lydia (now Turkey). Tabala was on theHermus River, andminted its owncoins.[1][2] It was probably mentioned byHierocles under the name ofGabala,[3] which is perhaps only miswritten for Tabala. It is even possible that it may be the town ofTabae orTabai (Τάβαι), whichStephanus of Byzantium assigns to Lydia.[4]
Its site is located near Burgaz inAsiatic Turkey.[5][6]
Asee at Tabala was founded in theRoman era, and remains today atitular see of theRoman Catholic Church.[7][8]
