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 bishop's seat of the Roman Catholic church and the current titular bishop is Milton Luis Tróccoli Cebedio, auxiliary bishop of Montevideo.[4] He succeeded Joseph Brian Dunn in 2009.[5]
