Tamalluma

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Africa Proconsularis (125 AD)

Tamalluma is a former Roman city which remains a Latin Catholic titular bishopric

History

[edit]

The city was at Telmin, an oasis in present Tunisia, one of many in the Roman province of Byzacena, which were suffragan of the Metropolitan Archbishopric Hadrumetum (Sousse), but faded.[1][2][3]

Titular see

[edit]

The diocese was nominally restored in 1933 as a titular bishopric, of the (lowest) episcopal) rank, with a single incumbent of Archiepiscopal rank.[4]
