Sicca Veneria (titular see)
The Diocese of Sicca Veneria is a titular see of Africa Proconsularis, and was a suffragan of the bishops of Carthage. The cathedra of the bishopric was in the Roman colonia of Colonia Julia Veneria Cirta Nova Iulia. The bishopric was founded in early Christianity, becoming at some point an archbishopric and passed through the Catholic Roman, Arian Vandal, and Orthodox Byzantine empires until it ceased to function sometime after the Muslim conquest of the Maghreb. It survives today as a titular see of the Roman Catholic Church. The current bishop is Lajos Varga of Hungary.
Remains of the bishopric included ruins at El Kef of a cathedral, baptistry, Christian burials, and numerous Christian inscriptions.
