Roman North Africa

The Diocese of Tubia (Dioecesis Tubiensis) is a suppressed and titular see in the province of Mauritania Caesariensis of the Roman Catholic Church.[1][2][3] Tubia was a city in North Africa during the Roman, Byzantine and Vandal empires that is identifiable with the ruins of Henchir-Toubia (Qar`at aţ Ţūbīyah).[citation needed]

Bishopric[edit]

Felix was the only known bishop of this African diocese from antiquity. He is known as he took part in the Council of Carthage (411), between Catholic and Donatist bishops of Roman Africa. (Felix was a Catholic)

Today Tubia survives as titular bishopric, the current bishop is José Cayetano Parra Novo.[4]
