Childhood and education

Augustine was born in 354 in the municipium of to Thagaste (now Souk Ahras, Algeria) in Roman Africa.

It is assumed that his mother, Monica, was of Berber origin, on the basis of her name, but as his family were honestiores, an upper class of citizens known as honorable men, Augustine's first language is likely to have been Latin. At the age of 11, he was sent to school at Madaurus (now M'Daourouch), a small Numidian city about 19 miles south of Thaga
