The diocese of Puzia in Byzacena (Latin: Dioecesis Putiensis in Byzacena) is a suppressed and titular seat of the Roman Catholic Church.
Puzia in Byzacena was centered on a Roman era civitas of the Province of Byzacena, in what was Roman North Africa. That town has been tentatively identified with ruins at Bir-Abdallah, Tunisia. [1]
The only known bishop of this diocese is Servando, who took part in the synod gathered in Carthage by the Vandal king Huneric in 484, after which Servando was exiled. [2] [3]
Today, Puzia in Byzacena survives as a titular bishop's residence. The current titular bishop is Jaime Cristóbal Abril González, auxiliary bishop of Nueva Pamplona. [4]
