Girus Tarasii

Africa proconsularis SPQR.

Girus Tarasii was a town in the Roman province of Numidia that became a residential episcopal see. It is tentatively identified with ruins situated at what is now called Henchir-Tarsa in Algeria.[1]

Girus Tarasii was probably the seat of an ancient bishopric which survives as a titular see of the Catholic Church,[1] by the name Tarasa in Numidia.
