Simingi

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

Africa Proconsularis (125 AD)

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.

  • Catholic bishop Restitutus, who attended the Council of Carthage (411) at that time the seat had no Donatist bishops.
  • Cresconio witnessed the Council of Carthage (525).

In modern times Simingi became a titular bishopric. Simingi's bishop is Galo Fernández Villaseca of Santiago, Chile.
