Eguga

Eguga was a civitas in Africa Proconsulare during the Roman Empire. It was located in present-day Tunisia.

Eguga was also the seat of an ancient Catholic diocese of the same name. It was a suffragan diocese of the Archdiocese of Carthage. The only bishop mentioned by the sources was Florencio, who took part in the antimonothelite Council of Carthage in 646. Today, Eguga survives as a Latin Church titular see. The most recent titular bishop of Eguga was Gerard William Battersby, who served from 2016 to 2024.
