Henchir-Baldia

Henchir-Baldia is an archaeological site and locality in southern Tunisia. The stone ruins are tentatively associated with Bladia,[1] a civitas of the Roman province of Byzacena during the Roman Empire. It was a Catholic bishopric.

Bladia was the seat of the Diocese of Bladia[2][3] (in Latin : Dioecesis Bladiensis) a home suppressed and titular see of the Roman Catholic Church.[4] that is suffragn to the Archdiocese of Carthage.[5]

History

Very little is known of the ancient town. Two bishops are known from here, The Catholic Potentiometer, who participated in the Council of Carthage (411)[6] and an unnamed Donatist bishop of Bladia. The conference proceedings have not recorded his name.

Today Bladia survives as a titular bishopric,[7] the current titular bishop is Eduardo Vieira dos Santos, of San Paolo.
