Thunigaba

Thunigaba was an ancient Roman town in Roman Africa. It was a bishopric and is now a Latin Church titular see of the Catholic Church.

History

The city was one of many in the Late Roman province of Africa proconsularis which were important enough to become a suffragan see of the primatial Metropolitan of Carthage, but later faded.
Its ruins are near modern Henchir-Aïn-Laabed, in present Tunisia.

Titular see

In 1933, the diocese was nominally restored as a Latin titular bishopric of the lowest rank.
So far, it had the following episcopal incumbents :

Giocondo Maria Grotti, O.S.M., Territorial Bishop-Prelate of Acre and Purus,
Julius Babatunde Adelakun as Auxiliary Bishop of Oyo ; later succeeded as Bishop of Oyo
Paweł Socha, C.M., Auxiliary Bishop emeritus of Zielona Góra–Gorzów
