Germania in Numidia

Germania in Numidia is a former ancient city and Roman bishopric and current Latin Catholic titular see. It was in the Roman province of Numidia.

Germania was thought to have been located near modern Ksar-El-Kelb? in present-day Algeria. It was sufficiently important within the Roman province of Numidia to be a suffragan bishopric of the Metropolitan Archdiocese of Cirta (modern Constantine), but faded.

A bishopric was established here During the Roman Empire. It stopped functioning in the 7th century with the Islamic expansion. Known bishops include

• Innocence (fl 411)
• Crescenzo (fl. 484)

The diocese was nominally restored as a titular see in 1933. It has had the following (near-consecutive) incumbents, both of the lowest (episcopal) and intermediary (archiepiscopal) ranks:

• Augustin Bea, S.J. (1962)
