Tatilti

Tatilti was an ancient town of the Byzantineand Roman Empires in the Roman province of Mauretania Caesariensis. It is identifiable with the modern town of Souk El Khemis, Algeria.[1]

Roman Empire - Mauretania Caesariensis (125 AD).

The town was the site of a Roman Army camp,[2] as evidenced by numerous inscription in the area.

The town was also the seat of the ancient bishopric of Tatiltensis.[3][4] Although the diocese ceased to effectively function with the Muslim conquest of the Maghreb, the diocese continues in name at least as a titular see of the Roman Catholic Church.[5] Tatiltensis current bishop is Eulises Gonzáles Sánchez of Colombia.
