Remove ads
Tisedi was an ancient city and episcopal see, which remains a Latin Church titular see within the Catholic Church.
History
Tisedi, located near modern Aziz-Ben-Tellis in present Algeria, was one of many towns in the Roman province of Numidia which was important enough to become a suffragan bishopric but faded completely.
Three of its residential bishops are recorded (although author Morcelli assigns them to Tiddi):
- Donatus I suffered gravely, according to Saint Optatus (bishop of Milevis), under the heresy Donatism and was deprived of his see in 362 by their bishop Felix of Idicra
- The Council of Carthage (484), called by Huneric of the Vandal Kingdom, was attended for Tisedi by both a Catholic bishop Lampadius, who was banished afterwards, and his Donatist counterpart, Donatus.
