Maxita

The Diocese of Maxita (Massita in curiate Italian) (Maxitensis) is a suppressed residential and present Latin titular see of the Roman Catholic Church of Roman North Africa.

Maxita, located in the region of Al-Asnam, Algeria, is an ancient episcopal see in the Roman province of Mauretania Caesariensis,suffragan of the Metropolitan of its capital Caesarea Mauretaniae.

It may have been centered on the unrecorded basilica discovered at Al Asnam, but was to fade.

Only one bishop is known from antiquity: Felix (Italian: Felice), who was among the Catholic prelates summoned to the Council of Carthage (484) by the Arian Vandal king Huneric.

The diocese of Maxita (the Italian Curiate form being Massita) was nominally restored in 1933 as a titular bishopric, of the lowest (episcopal) rank.

It has had the following, near-consecutive incumbents :

Bishop Marian Chovanec.
