Vannida

The diocese of Vannida (in Latin: Dioecesis Vannidensis) is a suppressed and titular See of the Roman Catholic Church. It was centered on the ancient Roman Town of Vannida,[1] in what is today Algeria, is an ancient episcopal seat of the Roman province of Mauritania Cesariense.[2][3]

The only known bishop of this diocese was Rogaziano, who took part in the synod assembled in Carthage by the Vandal King Huneric]] in 484, after which Rogaziano was exiled. Today Vannida survives as a titular bishopric and the current Archbishop is Félix del Blanco Prieto.[4]
