Its only historically documented bishop, Lucius, took part in the Council of Carthage called in 256 by Saint Cyprian, bishop of Carthage), concerning the lapsi, 'fallen' Christians who accepted forced pagan sacrifices to avoid martyrdom. The bishopric faded, plausibly during the 7th century advent of Islam, but the town persisted in modern Algeria, under the Arabic equivalent of its ancient name: Kasr-Galaba (''kasr'' also meaning fortified place). Titular see The diocese was nominally restored in 1933 as titular bishopric of Castra Galbæ (Latin) / Castra di Galba (Curiate Italian) / Castrensis Galbæ (Latin adjective). It has ...

Strongoli
Strongoli is a ''comune'' and town with a population of over 6000 people in the province of Crotone, in Calabria, southernmost Italy. History In Antiquity, Strongoli was the site of Petelia, said to have been founded by Philoctetes. It is the birthplace of Italian baroque composer Leonardo Vinci. Ecclesiastical History Some historians claim that Ancient Petelia already was a bishopric, established perhaps in 546 or then adopting the city's new medieval name Strongoli, but without solid evidence, and the see in never mentioned in the Byzantine imperial ''Notitia Episcopatuum'' of the Patriarchate of Constantinople, which most dioceses in Calabria belonged to in the 9th till 11th centuries, so its foundation may rather date from the Normans, probably late 12th century. The first historical record of the Diocese of Strongoli (Curiate Italian) / Strongulen(sis) (Latin adjective) is a papal bulla from Pope Lucius III in 1183, naming it among the suffragans of the Archdiocese of Sa ...
