History edit
Aïn Tebernoc has numerous Roman era ruins and is tentatively identified as the site of the ancient city of Tubernuca,[1] a municipum of the Roman Province of Africa Proconsolare[2] Numerous inscriptions in situ confirm the name and status of the Roman city.[3]
Following the Reconquista of Spain, a group of Andalusian Moors settled in its ruins at the end of the 15th century.
Ancient Tubernuca was also the seat of an ancient Catholic Bishopric.[4] It was a suffragan of Carthage, which survives today as a titular Bishopric of the Roman Catholic Church. On one bishop from antiquity is known to us, Repositus, a correspondent with Cyprian.[5] The current bishop of the Bishopric is Antuan Ilgit, auxiliary bishop of Apostolic Vicariate of Anatolia since 2023.
