Various ruin fragments and inscriptions in Emet, and especially in the cemetery on the east side of town, indicate that there was a decently large settlement here in ancient times. For example, by the hot springs there are the ruins of an old bathhouse attributed to the Byzantine period. Emet may represent the site of the ancient and medieval town of Tiberiopolis, although other candidates have also been proposed.<ref name="TIB 7">{{cite book |last1=Belke |first1=Klaus |last2=Mersich |first2=Norbert |title=Tabula Imperii Byzantini Bd. 7.
