The town of Floriana has been tentatively identified with ruins at Letourneux, Derrag in northern Algeria.

[2][3][4] The only known bishop from antiquity is Restituto, who took part in the synod assembled in Carthage in 484 by the Vandal King Huneric, after which Restituto was exiled.

The town and Bishopric did not effectively survive the Muslim conquest of the Maghreb but today Floriana survives as a titular bishopric and the current archbishop is George Panamthundil, apostolic nuncio to Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan.
