Simingi Explained

Simingi was a Roman era civitas (town) of the Roman province of Africa Proconsularis.

The town was the seat of an ancient bishopric, suffragan of the Archdiocese of Carthage.^{[1] [2]} Only two bishops of this diocese are documented.

• Catholic bishop Restitutus, who attended the Council of Carthage (411) at that time the seat had no Donatist bishops.
• Cresconio witnessed the Council of Carthage (525).

In modern times Simingi became a titular bishopric. Simingi's bishop is Josef Holtkotte of Paderborn, Germany.
