Putia in Byzacena

Puzia in Byzacena was centered on a Roman era civitas of the Province of Byzacena, in what was Roman North Africa. That town has been tentatively identified with ruins at Bir-Abdallah, Tunisia.^[1]

The only known bishop of this diocese is Servando, who took part in the synod gathered in Carthage by the Vandal king Huneric in 484, after which Servando was exiled.^[2][3]

Today, Puzia in Byzacena survives as a titular bishop's residence. The current titular bishop is Jaime Cristóbal Abril González, auxiliary bishop of Nueva Pamplona.^[4]
