Macomades

Macomades was a Carthaginian and Roman city in North Africa.

It was located near present-day Oum-El-Bouaghi, Algeria Macomades was established as an inland Punic trading post under the name MQMʾ (Punic: 𐤌𐤒𐤌𐤀,[1] "Place").

[1] It issued its own bronze coins with an Egyptian-style god's head obverse and a reverse bearing either a hog and galloping horse or a disk in a crescent, a symbol of the Punic goddess Tanit.

It was overrun by the Umayyad Caliphate during the 7th-century Muslim invasion.

The diocese was in abeyance after the Muslim conquest of the region until it was restored by the Roman Catholic Church in 1933 as a titular bishopric (diocesis Macomadensis).
