Africa Proconsularis (125 AD)
The Diocese of Aquensis in Byzacena is a home suppressed and titular see of the Roman Catholic Church.[1]
The diocese was centered on Aquensis a civitas of the Roman province of Byzacena, which is tentatively identified with El Hamma in modern Tunisia.[2]
Mesnage,[3] attributes two bishops:
- Gennaro, who took part at the Council of Cabarsussi in 393, made up of bishops Maximianus, Donatist sect;
- Crescente, that Victor of Vita, in his history of the persecution of the Vandals, calls metropolitanus Aquitanae civitatis'. Crescente name appears in the Roman martyrology on 28 November.
However, Morcelli,[4] identifies only one bishop of this diocese – Vittoriano, who participated for the Catholic side, in the Council of Carthage (411).
Today Aquensis in Byzacena survives as titular bishopric[5][6] and the current Bishop is Jorge Martín Torres Carbonell, of Lomas de Zamora.[7]
