{{about|the place in Tunisia|the ministry in Panama|Ministry of Social Development (Panama)}}{{Unreferenced|date=April 2013}}Midès (also called Midas) is a mountain oasis in Tunisia. As Ancient Mades, it was a bishopric and remains a Latin Catholic titular see. Modern town It has a pleasant canyon and an abandoned village. It is located in the hill country near the border with Algeria, and is 6 km from Tamerza. The canyon was used for filming Raiders of the Lost Ark and The English Patient. History Mades was among the many towns that were important enough in the Roman province of Numidia to become a suffragan bishopric, in the papal sway. Its only historically documented bishop, Petrus, participated in the synod, called in Carthage by the Vandal Kingdom's ruler Huneric in 484, after which he went in exile, like many Catholic bishops, unlike their Donatist heretic counterparts. Titular see The diocese was nominally restored in 1933 as Titular bishopric of Mades (Latin = Curiate Italian) / Maden(sis) (Latin adjective).
