Africa Proconsularis (125 AD)

The Diocese of Sassura (in Latin: Dioecesis Sassuritana) is a suppressed and titular See of the Roman Catholic Church.

The Roman Town of Sassura, identifiable with Henchir-Ez-Zaouadi in today's Tunisia, is the ancient episcopal seat of the diocese which was in the Roman Province of Byzacena.[1][2][3]

They are just two of Sassura's documented bishops.

  • Servius intervened in the synod assembled in Carthage by King Huneric the Vandal in 484, after which Servius he was exiled.
  • Bonifacio took part in the anti-monotheistic council of 641.

Today Sassura survives as a titular bishopric and the current bishop is Rupert Graf zu Stolberg, auxiliary bishop of Munich and Frisinga.
