Albulae is a former Ancient city and bishopric in Roman Africa. It remains a titular see of the Roman Catholic Church.[1]
It is identified with the modern town of Ain Temouchent, in present Algeria, near the Moroccan border.[2]
History
The settlement was important enough in the Roman province of Mauretania Caesariensis to become one of the suffragans of its capital Caesarea Mauretaniae's Metropolitan Archbishopric, yet was to fade.
Titular bishopric
The diocese was nominally restored in 1933 as a Latin titular bishopric.
