Mauretania Caesariensis
Mauretania Caesariensis was a Roman province located in present-day Algeria, in north-west Africa, with its capital at ''Caesarea'' (now Cherchell), hence the name ''Caesariensis''.
==Historical background==
In the 1st century AD, Roman Emperor Claudius divided the westernmost Roman province in Africa, named Mauretania (land of the people of the Mauri, hence the word Moors), into Mauretania Caesariensis (named after its capital, one of many cities simply named Caesarea after the imperial cognomen that had become a title) and Mauretania Tingitana.
Under Diocletian's Tetrarchy reform, the easternmost part was broken off from Mauretania Caesariensis as a separate small province, Sitifensis, called after its inland capital Sitifis (Sétif) with a significant port at Saldae (presently Béjaïa).
At the time of Diocletian and Constantine the Great, both Sitifensis and Caesariensis were assigned to the administrative Diocese of Africa, in the praetorian prefecture of Italy, while Tingitana was an outpost of the Diocese of Spain. Caesarea was a major center of Jewry before 330, and Sitifis was one of the centres of the soldier cult of Mithras. Christianity spread throughout in the 4th and 5th centuries.
