Satafi

Satafi or in Latin Satafensis, was a Roman Town in the Roman province of Mauritania Cesariense, North Africa. It lasted through the Vandal and Roman Empires, until at least the Muslim conquest of the Maghreb, in late antiquity. An exact location of the town is not known but, it was probably in Algeria.

Like most of Mauritania Cesariense, Christianity appears to have been not well established until after the Council of Nicaea. A Bishop of Satafi, Ascendant, took part in the synod assembled in Carthage by the Vandal King Huneric in 484, after which Ascendant was exiled to Sicily. A Donatist bishop called Saiacensis or Saiensis, has also been attributed to this town but instead he was probably from Saia Maggiore. Today Satafi retains a titular bishopric held by Antônio Tourinho Neto, of Olinda and Recife. He replaced Claudio Maniago in 2012.
