Elephantaria in Mauretania

Elephantaria in Mauretania was an ancient city in the Maghreb during the Roman, Byzantine and Vandal empires.

[1][2] It is shown on the Peutinger Table map.

[3] Today, the city exists only as unexcavated ruins at Henchir, a suburb of Algiers, and a titular see in the Mauretania Caesariensis province of the Roman Catholic Church.

Until 2020 the title was held by Angelo Moreschi, of Ethiopia.
