Henchir-Bladia is an archaeological site and locality in southern Tunisia. The stone ruins are tentatively associated with Bladia,[1]acivitas of the Roman provinceofByzacena during the Roman Empire. It was a Catholic bishopric.
Bladia was the seat of the Diocese of Bladia[2][3] (Latin: Dioecesis Bladiensis), a home suppressed and titular see of the Roman Catholic Church.[4] that was suffragan to the Archdiocese of Carthage.[5]
Very little is known of the ancient town. Two bishops are known from here, The Catholic Potentiometer, who participated in the Council of Carthage (411)[6] and an unnamed Donatist bishop of Bladia. The conference proceedings have not recorded his name.
Today Bladia survives as a titular bishopric;[7] the current titular bishop is Víctor Iván Vargas Galarza, of Cochabamba.
