The Diocese of Fissiana (in Latin Rite Fissianensis) is a home suppressed and titular see of the Roman Catholic Church. LocationThe exact location for the seat of the diocese is unknown,[1] though Fissiana, is tentatively located somewhere near Foussana in modern Tunisia. In antiquity it was within the Roman province of Byzacena,[2][3] corresponding to the modern Sahel region of Tunisia. HistoryOf this dioceses only two Donatist bishops are known.
That the town was a stronghold of Donatism is not surprising, as it is located close to the heartland of that movement with many of the first Donatist congregations forming in the semi-arid region to the west and south west of Foussana. Today Fissiana survives as titular bishopric[1] and the current bishop is Darius Trijonis, Auxiliary bishop of Vilnius.[4] Known bishops
