Sereddeli

Roman Empire - Mauretania Caesariensis (125 AD).

Sereddeli was an ancient Roman town of the Roman Province of Mauretania Caesariensis, in North Africa.

Sereddeli flourished through the Vandal and Roman Empires into late antiquity. It survived until at least the Muslim Conquest of the Marghreb.[1]

Bishopric

Sereddeli was also the seat of an ancient diocese, called in Latin: Dioecesis Sereddelitana, [2] which survives today as a suppressed and titular See of the Roman Catholic Church.[3][4][5]

The only known bishop of this diocese from antiquity is Rogato, who took part in the synod assembled in Carthage by the Vandal king Huneric in 484, after which Rogato was exiled. Today Sereddeli survives as a titular bishopric and the current bishop is Gabriel Simo, auxiliary bishop of Bafoussam.[6]
