Agbia

Agbia was an ancient city and diocese in the Roman province of Africa Proconsularis. It is currently a Roman Rite Catholic titular see.

Antiquity

Agbia was located at the site of modern Aïn-Hedia in Tunisia.

It had a bishop, who was suffragan to the Metropolitan Archbishop of Carthage.

Titular see

The bishopric was nominally revived in 1916 as a titular see of the lowest (episcopal) rank in 1916, and has several, near-consecutive incumbents, but underwent name changes of the see during the first incumbency: Agae > (1925) > Aga > (1933) Agbia

gollark: This seems worrying. I mean, I'm not in America, but it's still worrying.
gollark: There's also insect-based food, which apparently also reduces resource use.
gollark: Vegan food companies?
gollark: But who would pay these vegans?
gollark: I've heard it said that it might be more effective for vegans/vegetarians to present not eating meat as an opportunity to do good people may not be aware of, instead of presenting eating meat as EVIL to people who're already doing it.
