As a
bishopric, Avitta Bibba was a
suffragan of the
metropolitan see of
Carthage. This may have been the see of the bishop Tertullus (
Tertullus Abitensis) who took part in a council held at Cabarsussi in 393 by a breakaway group of
Donatists led by Maximianus, and of the bishop Honoratus ("Honoratus Abiddensis") who at the
Conference of Carthage (411) between Catholic and Donatist bishops, declared he had no Donatist counterpart in his diocese. However, the see to which one or both of these bishops belonged may instead have been
Abidda in the Roman province of
Byzacena. No longer a residential bishopric, Avitta Bibba is today listed by the
Catholic Church as a
titular see. ==See also==
