Africa Proconsularis (125 AD)
The Diocese of Midids, is an ancient episcopal seat of the Roman province of Byzacena.[1] The diocese was centered on a Roman town identifiable with Henchir-Medded in today's Tunisia.[2][3][4]
History
There are two bishops attributable to Midids.
- The Catholic Bishop Serenian attended the 411 Council of Carthage between the Catholic and Donatist bishops of Roman North Africa. On that occasion the seat had no Donatist bishops.
- Eubodio took part in the synod assembled in Carthage in 484 by the Arian King Huneric the Vandal, after which Eubodio was exiled.
Ruspe Fulgenzio founded a monastery near Midids at the beginning of the 6th century.
Today Midids survives as a titular bishopric and the current bishop is Luis Gleisner Wobbe, auxiliary bishop of La Serena.
