Cincara





Africa Proconsularis (125 AD)


During the Roman Empire Cincara,[1] was a civitas of Africa Proconsularis.


The town was on the Medjerda river[2] and therefore in the bread basket of Roman North Africa.The Ruins of Cincara can still be seen at Bordj Toumi in Tunisia.



Bishopric


Cincara was a seat of an ancient Christian diocese,[3] of which we know two bishops, one donatist and one catholic indicating the controversy had reached the town. Both bishops attended the Council of Carthage in 411.

Today Cincara survives (since 1933)as a titular see of the Roman Catholic Church.[6][7]
