  • Source: Bida (North Africa)

    • Bida is a former Ancient city and bishopric in Roman Africa, now a Latin Catholic titular see.
    Its presumed location are the ruins at present Djemaa Saharidj in modern Algeria.


    History


    The city was important enough in the Roman province of Mauretania Caesariensis to become a suffragan bishopric of its capital's Metropolitan Archbishop, but was to fade. Campanus represented Bida at the Council of Carthage (424).
