Mutia was an Ancient city and former bishopric in Roman Africa and remains a Latin Catholic titular see. [1]
Mutia was located at present Henchir-El-Gheria, Henchir-Furna, in the Sahel zone of modern Tunisia.
It was among the towns in the Roman province of Byzacena important enough to become a suffragan diocese in the papal sway, yet destined to fade (under the 7th century advent of Islam?).
Its only historically documented bishop was Latinus, [2] participant at the Council of Cabarsussi, called in 393 by the dissident Maximianist sect of the Donatist heresy, and confirmed the synodal acts, with thanks to Saint Augustine.
The diocese was nominally restored in 1933 as Latin Titular bishopric of Mutia (Latin) / Muzia (Curiate Italian) / Mutien(sis) (Latin adjective).
It has had the following incumbents, so far of the fitting Episcopal (lowest) rank :
Today, Muzia survives as a titular bishop's residence; the current titular bishop is John Moon Hee Jong, auxiliary bishop of Suwon
