Flenucleta was an ancient Berber, Roman and Byzantine civitas located in the Mediterranean hinterland of what was then the province of Mauretania Caesariensis. It was situated in present-day northern Algeria.[1] The exact location of the city is unknown.[2]

Roman Empire - Mauretania Caesariensis (125 AD)

Flenucleta was also the seat of the Catholic Church diocese of Flenucleta[3] which goes back to a Roman era bishopric in the ancient town of the same name.[4][5] Although the diocese ceased to effectively function with the Muslim conquest of the Maghreb, the diocese has been re-established in name at least as a titular see of the Roman Catholic Church.[6][7][8][9]
