Lapda

Lapda, was a civitas (town) of the Roman province of Africa Proconsularis.[1][2] Its exact location is now lost to history, though probably somewhere in central modern Tunisia. Also known as Labdia.[3][4]
Lapda was also the seat of an ancient Christian episcopal see,[5][6] suffragan to the Archdiocese of Carthage.[7][8]
There are three bishops of antiquity mentioned by the historical sources.
- The Donatist bishop Rufino attended the Conference of Carthage (411). The diocese had no Catholic counterpart.
- Jona was present at the Synod of Carthage (484) called by the Vandal king Huneric.
- Victor witnessed the document of doctrine following the Council of Carthage (525) held by Metropolitan Bonifacio.
Today [9] Lapda survives as a titular bishopric and the current bishop is José Mauricio Vélez García, of Medellín.
