Simingi was a Roman era civitas (town) of the Roman province of Africa Proconsularis.
The town was the seat of an ancient bishopric, suffragan of the Archdiocese of Carthage.[1][2] Only two bishops of this diocese are documented.
- Catholic bishop Restitutus, who attended the Council of Carthage (411) at that time the seat had no Donatist bishops.
- Cresconio witnessed the Council of Carthage (525).
In modern times Simingi became a titular bishopric. Simingi's bishop is Josef Holtkotte of Paderborn, Germany.
