Tunnuna was an ancient city and diocese in Roman Africa. It is now a Latin Catholic titular see. History Tunnuna was located in modern Tunisia.

Titular see The diocese was nominally restored in 1933 as Titular bishopric of Tunnuna (Latin and Curiate Italian) / Tunnunen(sis) (Latin adjective). It has had the following incumbents, so far of the fitting Episcopal (lowest) rank : * George John Rehring (1967.02.25 – resigned 1970.12.31) as emeritate, formerly Titular Bishop of Lunda (1937.08.06 – 1950.07.16) as Auxiliary Bishop of Archdiocese of Cincinnati (USA) (1937.08.06 – 1950.07.16), Bishop of Toledo (USA) (1950.07.16 – retired 1967.02.25); died 1976 * Urbano José Allgayer (1974.02.05 – 1982.02.04) as Auxiliary Bishop of Archdiocese of Porto Alegre (Brazil) (1974.02.05 – 1982.02.0 ...

Victor Of Tunnuna
Victor of Tunnuna (Latin ''Victor Tunnunensis'') (died 570) was Bishop of the North African town of Tunnuna and a chronicler from Late antiquity. He was also considered a martyr by Isidore of Seville. What little information we have on his life is derived from entries in his own chronicle. Victor was a staunch supporter of the Three Chapters which had been condemned by Justinian's edict of 544, and on this account he was arrested. His first imprisonment was a monastery in Mandracium near Carthage, followed by exile to the Balearic Islands and finally transferred to Egypt to a monastery in Canopus. In 564 or 565 he and five other African bishops were summoned before Emperor Justin II and Patriarch Eutychius in Constantinople. When they refused to submit to the emperor's edict, they were imprisoned in different monasteries throughout Constantinople. Victor died about 569, most likely still confined at the monastery in Constantinople. Works Victor is the fifth author and contin ...
