The Christian diocese was founded during the Roman Empire and survived through the Arian Vandal and Orthodox Byzantine empires, only ceasing to function with the Muslim conquest of the Maghreb. The diocese was re-founded in name at least in the 20th century and it remains today a titular see of the Roman Catholic church. Three bishops are known from antiquity in this diocese.[2] Valentiniana is now a titular bishop's ecclesiastical seat; the current titular bishop is Philip Pargeter.[3] former auxiliary bishop of Birmingham.
