Autenti

Africa Proconsularis (125 AD)

Autenti (Latin: Rite Autentensis) was a RomanBerber civitas and bishopric in Africa Proconsularis. It was a diocese of the Roman Catholic Church.

Autenti was a civitas of the Roman province of Byzacena, the ruins of which are situated between Sbeitla and Thyna in modern Tunisia.[1] The town was the seat[2] of an ancient episcopal see.[3][4]

There are two known bishops of Autenti.

Both these bishops are from late antiquity with no references to the diocese during the great councils of the 4th century indicating that the bishopric may have been of late establishment.

Today Autenti survives as titular bishopric and the current bishop is Gilberto Alfredo Vizcarra Mori, of Peru.[7]
