Obba was a town in the Roman province of Africa and a Christian bishopric, a suffragan of Carthage (episcopal see), the Metropolitan see of the Northe African ecclesiastical province. It is also included in the Catholic Church's list of titular sees.〔''Annuario Pontificio 2013'' (Libreria Editrice Vaticana, 2013, ISBN 978-88-209-9070-1), p. 943〕 == Location == Obba was near Carthage,〔(Lewis and Short: "Obba" )〕 in modern Tunisia, and is placed in the Roman province of Africa by the ''Annuario Pontificio''. Sophrone Pétridès is a lone voice in placing it in the Roman province of Byzacena,〔(Sophrone Pétridès, "Obba" in ''Catholic Encyclopedia'' (New York 1911) )〕 further south. According to the Catholic Encyclopaedia, it is the modern Ebba. (Ebba?) Pétridès says the town was situated on the highway from Carthage to Theveste (modern Tebessa), seven miles from Lares (now Lorbeus) and sixteen miles from Altiburus (Henshir Medina). Werner Huß sees as the most likely location modern Henchir Bou Djaoua or Henchir Merkeb en-Nabi.〔(Werner Huß (Bamberg), "Abba" in ''Brill's New Pauly'' )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Obba」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
