Name
Timici is a latinization of the town's Punic name 𐤕𐤌𐤊𐤉 (TMKY).[2][1]

History
Timici minted its own bronze coins with Punic legends.[2]
Under the Romans, Timici was a native town (civitas) in the province of Mauretania Caesariensis.[3]
The town was previously identified with the ruins at Aïn Témouchent,[4] which were actually the remnants of Roman Albulae.
Religion
Timici was the seat of a Christian bishop in antiquity. Three of them appear in the surviving historical record. The title fell into abeyance during the Islamic conquest of the Maghreb but was revived as a Roman Catholic titular see (Latin: Dioecesis Timicitana) in the 20th century.[5][6]
