Macri, or perhaps Macras, was a town and

bishopric in the Roman province of Mauretania Sitifensis.[1] It corresponds to the modern town of Magra, Algeria
.

History

This town figures only in the

Itinerarium Antonini. It flourished for a long period, and Arabian authors often mention it in eulogistic terms. According to the 1910 Catholic Encyclopedia, it was situated on the Oued-Magra which still bears its name, near the Djebel Magra, in the plain of Bou Megueur, south-west of Sétif (in Algeria). The 2013 Annuario Pontificio places it at Henchir-Remada.[2]

In 411 Macri had a

Carthage Assembly
; like the others, he was banished by Huneric.
