Tasaccora

Roman Empire - Mauretania Caesariensis (125 AD)

Tasaccora, identifiable with the town of Sigi in modern Algeria,[1] was an ancient Roman town of the Roman province of Mauritania Cesariense.

A bishop of this town Pequary,[2][3] is known to have taken part in synod assembled in Carthage by King Huneric of the Vandal Kingdom in 484. Shortly after the synod Pequary was exiled (possibly) to Vandal controlled Sicily. The current bishop of Tasaccora is Adam John Parker, the Catholic auxiliary bishop of Baltimore.[4]
