Praesidium (bishopric)

The diocese of Presidio (Latin: Dioecesis Praesidiensis) is a suppressed and titular see of the Catholic Church.

History
Presidium, identifiable with ruins at Henchir-Somâa in present-day Tunisia, is an ancient episcopal seat of the Roman province of Byzacena.

There are two bishops known from this diocese.
 * The Leonatist a Donatist, who took part in the Carthage conference of 411, which brought together the Catholic and Donatist bishops of Roman North Africa.
 * Fausto attended the synod gathered in Carthage by the Vandal king Huneric in 484, after which Fausto was exiled.

Today, Presidio survives as a titular see; the current titular bishop is Roger William Gries, former auxiliary bishop of Cleveland.
