Augurus
Augurus was an ancient city and former bishopric in Roman Africa, now a Latin Catholic titular see. Its presumed site is at the ruins of Sidi-Tahar and Sidi-Embarec in Algeria.
History
Augurus was important enough in the Roman province of Numidia to become one of its many suffragan sees, and faded like most.
Titular see
The diocese was nominally restored in 1933 as Latin titular bishopric.
It has had the following incumbents, of the fitting episcopal (lowest) rank :
- Michel-Maurice-Augustin-Marie Darmancier, Marists (S.M.) (1961.12.22 – 1966.06.21)
- Victor-Julien-André Gouet (1966.12.30 – 1988.12.15)
- Gilles Lussier (1988.12.23 – 1991.09.07)
- Simon Akwali Okafor (1992.03.06 – 1994.09.09)
- Edwin Michael Conway (1995.01.24 – 2004.08.09)
- João Carlos Petrini (2005.01.12 – 2010.12.15)
- José Francisco Falcão de Barros (2011.02.16 – ...), Auxiliary Bishop of the Military Ordinariate of Brazil (Brazil)

gollark: This seems far too large and complex for anyone to care.
gollark: I wonder which parts they can't get.
gollark: Huh, wow, Raspberry Pis are actually utterly unobtainable right now.
gollark: My server spends most of its time at about 5% CPU load, but occasionally I have some weirdly overly computation-heavy job which makes it actually useful.
