Tigisi in Mauretania

Tigisi in Mauretania is an ancient Roman and Byzantine era civitas (town) of Roman North Africa and an episcopal see of the Roman province of Mauretania Caesariensis. It was mentioned in the Itinerarium Antonini Augusti Itinerarium.

Tigisi of Mauritania, was situated between Dellys and Taourga in today's Algeria and is identified with ruins located near Taourga, Algeria. The town should not be confused with its more famous namesake Tigisi in the province of Numidia (modern Tunisia).

The city was also the seat of an ancient bishopric. There are three known African bishops of this diocese. The rival Catholic and Donatist bishops Solemnio and Pascasio both attended the conference of Carthage of 411, which saw gathered together the Catholics and Donatist bishops of Roman North Africa. Passinato intervened at the synod meeting in Carthage by the Vandal king Huneric in 484, after which he was exiled.

Today Tigisi of Mauritania survives as titular bishop, the current bishop is Tadeusz Bronakowski, auxiliary bishop of Łomża.
