Sicca Veneria (episcopal see)

The Diocese of Sicca Veneria was an episcopal see of Africa Proconsularis, and was a suffragan of the bishops of Carthage.

[citation needed] The cathedra of the bishopric was in the Roman colonia (highest ranking city) of Colonia Julia Veneria Cirta Nova Iulia.

[1][2] The bishopric was founded in early Christianity; it ceased to function sometime after the Muslim conquest of the Maghreb.

It exists today as a titular see of the Roman Catholic Church.

Remains of the bishopric included ruins at El Kef of a cathedral, baptistry, Christian burials, and numerous Christian inscriptions.
