Aquae in Dacia
Aquae in Dacia (or Aquæ in Dacia) is a former Ancient city and bishopric, now a Latin Catholic titular see.
Its location is modern Vidonac, in Serbia.
History
As a city in the Roman province of Dacia Ripensis, it was important enough to become a suffragan bishhopric of the Metropolitan of provincial capital Ratiaria (Raziaria), yet would later fade with the town.
