Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Orphan

The Diocese of Thiges (Шаблон:Lang-la) was a Roman Catholic diocese in ancient Byzacena.

History

In late antiquity the diocese was centered on a civitas of the Roman Province of Byzacena, Africa Province. That ancient civitas is today identifiable with Bordj-Gourbata in today's Tunisia.[1]

The diocese lasted until the Muslim conquest of the Maghreb, when it ceased to function effectively. However, the diocese was reborn in name at least in the early 20th century as a titular see. Today Tiges survives as a titular bishop's seat.
