Simidicca

The ancient city is tentatively identified with ruins at Henchir-Simidia Tunisia.

[1] The city was also the seat of an ancient Christian bishopric, suffragan of the Archdiocese of Carthage.

[2][3] Only one bishop of this diocese is known Adeodatus, a Catholic bishop who participated in the Conference of Carthage of 411, which saw gathered together the bishops Catholics and Donatists in Roman Africa; the headquarters at that time had no Donatist bishops.

The same Adeodatus was present at the Council of Carthage (419) held by St Aurelius.

Today the diocese survives as a titular bishopric;[4] the current bishop is Rumen Stanev, of Sofia.
