Iubaltiana was a Roman–Berber civitas (town) in the province of Africa Proconsularis and in late antiquity in Byzacena. The town has been tentatively identified with ruins near Kairouan in today's Tunisia.[1]

Iubaltiana was also the seat of an ancient Christian bishopric,[2] governed under the Bishop of Carthage.[3] It was one of several bishoprics in what is today the Kairouan city area.

Today the bishopric survives as a titular see of the Roman Catholic Church and the current bishop is Luis Manuel Alí Herrera who succeeded Karl-Josef Rauber in 2015.[4]
