History
[edit]Tuba is the largest of several Byzantine-era villages on the al-A'la plateau east of Hama, which prospered during the reign of Justinian (r. 527–565) and the late 6th century. Among the ruins in Tuba was a church dated to 582 CE, as evidenced by an inscribed basaltic lintel. The village also contained a defensive tower and several houses, at least one of which dated to 573.[2]
