Simingi

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

Simingi was a Roman era civitas (town) of the Roman province of Africa Proconsularis.

The town was the seat of an ancient bishopric, suffragan of the Archdiocese of Carthage.[1][2] Only two bishops of this diocese are documented.

In modern times Simingi became a titular bishopric. Simingi's bishop is Josef Holtkotte of Paderborn, Germany.
