Tasaccora, identifiable with the town of Sig in modern Algeria,[1] was an ancient Roman town of the Roman province of Mauretania Caesariensis.
A bishop of this town Pequary,[2][3] is known to have taken part in the synod assembled in Carthage in 484 by King Huneric of the Vandal Kingdom. Shortly after the synod Pequary was exiled (possibly) to Vandal-controlled Sicily. The current bishop of Tasaccora is Adam John Parker, the Catholic auxiliary bishop of Baltimore.[4]
