Iunca in Mauretania

Roman Empire - Mauretania Caesariensis (125 AD).

The Diocese of Iunca in Mauretania is a suppressed and titular See[1] of the Roman Catholic Church.[2][3]

The bishopric was centered on an ancient Roman town, now lost to history,[4] that was located in the Roman province of Mauritania Cesariense, in today's Algeria. The ancient town flourished in Late Antiquity but did not last long after the Muslim conquest of the Maghreb. Today The bishopric survives only as a titular bishopric and the current bishop is Luis Sáinz Hinojosa.[5][6]
