Munatiana was an ancient Roman-Berber civitas located in the province of Byzacena in the present-day Sahel region of Tunisia. The former town was also the seat of an old Christian diocese, which remains a titular bishopric of the Roman Catholic Church.[1]
The only known bishop of this diocese is Vittorino, who participated in the council of Cabarsussi, held in 393 by the Maximianists, a dissident sect of the Donatists, and he signed the deeds of the Council.[2][3]
Today Munaziana survives as a titular bishopric of the Catholic Church. Ronald Aldon Hicks, auxiliary bishop of Chicago, has held the title since 2018.[4] He succeeded Milton Luis Tróccoli Cebedio who had held the title since 2009.[5]
