File:Roman Empire - Mauretania Caesariensis (125 AD).
Flenucleta was an ancient town of the Byzantine and Roman Empires, that was located in the Mediterranean hinterland of what was then Roman Province of Mauretania Caesariensis, and is today Northern Algeria.[1] The exact location of the city has now been lost to history.[2]
The town of Flenucleta was also the seat of the Bishopric of Flenucleta[3] which goes back to a Roman era bishopric in the ancient town of the same name.[4][5] Although the Diocese ceased to effectively function with the Muslim conquest of the Maghreb, the dioces has been re-established in name at least as a titular See of the Roman Catholic Church.[6][7][8][9]
