Pederodiana

Africa Proconsularis (125 AD)

Pederodiana, was a Roman town of the Roman province of Byzacena.[1] Its exact location is unknown but it is tentatively identified with or in modern Tunisia.[2] During the Roman Empire the town was also the seat of an ancient episcopal see under Carthage.

History[]

The only known bishop of this diocese is Adeodato, who took part in the synod in Carthage in 484 called by the Vandal king, Huneric, after which Adeodato was exiled.[3][4]

Today Pederodiana survives as a titular bishopric[5] and the current bishop Simon Ok Hyun of Kwangju.[6]

Known bishops include:

  • Adeodato (mentioned in 484)
  • Alcides Mendoza Castro (1967–1983)
  • Fabián Marulanda López (1986–1989)
  • (from 2011)
