Ecclesiastical history edit

Victor Vitensis speaks of Capra Picta as a town in that province, where some Catholics sent there into exile under the Arian Genseric, king of the Vandals from 428 to 477, converted a great number of the local population to Christianity.[1]

In the Notitia Provinciarum et Civitatum Africae,[2] Primus, bishop of the church in Capra, appears in the list of the Catholic bishops whom Huneric summoned to Carthage in 484 and then exiled.[3][1][4]

Titular see edit

No longer a residential bishopric, Capra is today listed by the Catholic Church as a titular see.[5]

The ancient diocese was nominally restored in 1933 and since had the following incumbents, both of the lowest (episcopal) or intermediary (archiepiscopal) ranks :
