Febiana
{{unreferenced, date=July 2017 Febiana was city and former bishopric in Roman North Africa, which only remains a Latin Catholic titular see. History Febina, in present-day Tunisia, was among the many cities of sufficient importance in the Roman province of Byzacena, in the papal sway, to become a suffragan diocese of the Metropolitan of Carthage, but was to fade so completely its remains weren’t found, plausibly at the seventh century advent of Islam. Two of its bishops are historically documented : * Successianus intervened at the Council of Carthage called in 484 by king Huneric of the Vandal Kingdom and was afterwards exiled, like most Catholic bishops, unlike their schismatic Donatist (heretical) counterparts (none reported for Febiana) * Sallustius participated in a Council of Carthage in 641 against the heresy monothelitism. Titular see The diocese was nominally restored in 1933 as Latin titular bishopric of Febiana (Latin = Curiate Italian) / Febianen(sis) ( ...

Byzacena
Byzacena (or Byzacium) ( grc, Βυζάκιον, ''Byzakion'') was a Late Roman province in the central part of Roman North Africa, which is now roughly Tunisia, split off from Africa Proconsularis. History At the end of the 3rd century AD, the Roman emperor Diocletian divided the great Roman province of Africa Proconsularis into three smaller provinces: Zeugitana in the north, still governed by a proconsul and referred to as Proconsularis; Byzacena to its adjacent south, and Tripolitania to its adjacent south, roughly corresponding to southeast Tunisia and northwest Libya. Byzacena corresponded roughly to eastern Tunisia or the modern Tunisian region of Sahel. Hadrumetum (modern Sousse) became the capital of the newly made province, whose governor had the rank of ''consularis''. At this period the Metropolitan Archbishopric of Byzacena was, after the great metropolis Carthage, the most important city in Roman (North) Africa west of Egypt and its Patriarch of Alexandria.
