History

The bishop of this town, Maximianus, participated in the 411 Carthage conference, between the Catholic bishops and Donatist bishops of Africa and was at the other Carthaginian council of 419. Another bishop was among the Catholic prelates summoned in 484 to Carthage by the Arian king of the Vandals, Huneric. The bishop of the town was exiled after this conference. [1] [2]

Today Aquae Regiae survives as a titular bishopric of the Roman Catholic Church [3] and the current bishop is Robert Charles Evans, auxiliary bishop of Providence. [4]
