History

The medieval Muslim geographer al-Yaqubi mentions a village named al-Atmim as being part of Jund Hims (military district of Homs) in the 9th-century.^[2][3] This village corresponds with the artificial mound of Tell Latmin.^[2] The Crusaders captured it in the early 11th-century. However, following the decisive victory of a Muslim alliance at the Battle of Harran in May 1104, Latmin was restored to Muslim control, falling to the kingdom of Ridwan of Aleppo. The Crusader garrison in the village fled back to the Principality of Antioch,^[4] which experienced a severe territorial loss in the interior region of northwestern Syria in the aftermath of the battle.^[5] The Crusader forces of the Principality recaptured the village when Ridwan's forces were defeated in the Battle of Artah in April 1105.^[6] In the 1220s, during Ayyubid rule, the Syrian geographer Yaqut al-Hamawi noted that Latmin was "a district with a fortress in it," belonging to Hims Province.^[7]
