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
