Teglata

Tagarata, was a Roman era civitas of the Roman province of Africa Proconsularis. The ancient town has been tentatively identified with ruins either at Tell El-Caid, one of three tell at Aïn-Tlit or Henchir Kahloulta in the region of Carthage, Tunisia. The ancient town[1] is known to history as the home of the Donatist Bishop Donato, who intervened at the Council of Carthage (411), it seems that time the town had no Catholic bishop. The bishopric exists today only as a titular see of the Roman Catholic Church[2] and the current bishop is José Ramiro Pellecer Samayoa, of Guatemala.
