Germania in Numidia

Germania in Numidia is a former ancient city and Roman bishopric and current Latin Catholic titular see. It was in the Roman province of Numidia.

History

Germania was thought to have been located near modern Ksar-El-Kelb? in present-day Algeria. It was sufficiently important within the Roman province of Numidia to be a suffragan bishopric of the Metropolitan Archdiocese of Cirta (modern Constantine), but faded.

gollark: It could be run from a separate PID 1, and use TOML or some actually-usable language to write service files.
gollark: What would be neat is a modernized and usable but *non-systemd* service manager.
gollark: The trouble is that systemd is a giant monolith which random things now tie deeply into.
