Roman Empire - Mauretania Caesariensis (125 AD)
Flenucleta was an ancient Berber , Roman and Byzantine civitas located in the Mediterranean hinterland of what was then the province of Mauretania Caesariensis . It was situated in present-day northern Algeria .[ 1] The exact location of the city is unknown.[ 2]
Flenucleta was also the seat of the Catholic Church diocese of Flenucleta[ 3] which goes back to a Roman era bishopric in the ancient town of the same name.[ 4] [ 5] Although the diocese ceased to effectively function with the Muslim conquest of the Maghreb , the diocese has been re-established in name at least as a titular see of the Roman Catholic Church .[ 6] [ 7] [ 8] [ 9]
