Thagamuta

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

Thagamuta was a RomanBerber city in the province of Byzacena. The location of the town is not definitively known, but it was on the plain of Guemouda in modern Tunisia.

Thagamuta was also the seat of an ancient bishopric.[1][2] There are three known (ancient) bishops of this Catholic diocese.

Today the bishopric survives as a titular bishopric and the current bishop is Jeffrey Robert Haines, of Archdiocese of Milwaukee.[3][4] He replaced Júlio Endi Akamine in 2017.
