Tisedi

Tisedi was an ancient city and episcopal see, which remains a Latin Church titular see within the Catholic Church.

History

Tisedi, located near modern Aziz-Ben-Tellis in present Algeria, was one of many towns in the Roman province of Numidia which was important enough to become a suffragan bishopric but faded completely.
Three of its residential bishops are recorded :

Donatus I suffered gravely, according to Saint Optatus, under the heresy Donatism and was deprived of his see in 362 by their bishop Felix of Idicra
The Council of Carthage (484), called by Huneric of the Vandal Kingdom, was attended for Tisedi by both a Catholic bishop Lampadius, who was banished afterwards, and his Donatist counterpart, Donatus.

Titular see

The diocese was nominally restored in 1933 as the Latin Church titular see of Tisedi /Tisedi /Tiseditanus.
