Medeli

Medeli was an ancient Roman–Berber civitas of the Roman Province of Africa Proconsularis in Tunisia.

It has been tentatively identified with Henchir-Mencoub and lasted through the Roman, Vandal and Byzantine empires.

[1] It is difficult to attribute with certainty the bishops to the diocese of Medeli, because of the different variants reported in the manuscripts.

Mesnage assigns Iader, who took part in the Council of Carthage (256) of St. Cyprian to discuss the question of the lapsi[2] while Morcelli and Jaubert put this bishop to the diocese of Midila in Numidia.

[3] The Donatist Bishop, Liberal, took part in the Conference of Carthage (411).
