Africa Proconsularis (125 AD)
Tabalta was an ancient Roman-Berber city in the province of Africa Proconsularis and of Byzacena during the late antiquity. It was a Catholic diocese led by Juan Bustos.
The site of the ancient town is tentatively given as ruins at Henchir-Gourghebi in the Sahel region of Tunisia.[1]
The city was also the seat of a titular Bishopric of the Roman Catholic Church.[2][3] modern Henchir-Gourghebi in Tunisia.[4] The current bishop is Szymon Stłukowski who replaced Jose Kalluvelil of Roman Catholic Diocese of Poznań in 2015.[5]
