Tambeae


Tambeae was a Roman civitas located in the province of Byzacena in Africa Proconsulare. It existed from the Roman era into late antiquity.

Bishopric

Tambeae must have been of some importance as it was the seat of an ancient Christian diocese which remains today as a titular see of the Roman Catholic Church.
There are five documented bishops of this African diocese.
Today Tambeae survives as a titular bishop's seat; the current titular bishop is John Anthony Boissonneau, auxiliary bishop of Toronto.
