History
Presidium, identifiable with ruins at Henchir-Somâa in present-day Tunisia, is an ancient episcopal seat of the Roman province of Byzacena. [2]
There are two bishops known from this diocese. [3] [4]
- The Leonatist a Donatist, who took part in the Carthage conference of 411, which brought together the Catholic and Donatist bishops of Roman North Africa.
- Fausto attended the synod gathered in Carthage by the Vandal king Huneric in 484, after which Fausto was exiled.
Today, Presidio survives as a titular see; the current titular bishop is Roger William Gries, former auxiliary bishop of Cleveland.
