The city was also the seat of an ancient Christian bishopric, suffragan of Archdiocese of Carthage. Only two bishops of Siminina are documented

  • Deuterium was present at the Council of Carthage (484) called by the Vandal king Huneric.

Today Siminina survives as a titular bishopric and the current bishop is Robert Patrick Maginnis of Philadelphia
