Tabai, which is located
at the 78th km of Denizli - Mugla highway, has the appearance
of a natural fort as can be understood from its name.
The city is among the city states established in Anatolia
|
|
after the Great Alexander.
Tabai has been subject to an uninterrupted residence
since Hellenistic Period until today (Roman, Byzantine,
Seljuk and Ottoman). Tabai has pressed coins in its
own name in archaic period. The fronts sides of the
coins, which were pressed first from silver and then
from bronze, have Zeus, Apollon, Athena, Herakles and
Dionysos figures and their back sides have the inscription
"TABENON" and figures such as the bull representing
the city or abundance horn. The ruins that could survive
until today are the Roman Bath and Cevherpasa Mosque
belonging to the Ottoman period.
