Albulae is an ancient city and former bishopric in Roman Africa. It remains a titular see of the Roman Catholic Church.^[1] It is identified with the modern town of Ain Temouchent, in present Algeria, near the Moroccan border.^[2]

History

Albulae was initially important enough in the Roman province of Mauretania Caesariensis to become one of the suffragans of the Metropolitan Archbishopric for its capital, Caesarea Mauretaniae. However, its influence gradually waned.
