Pederodiana, was a Roman town of the Roman province of Byzacena.[1] Its exact location is unknown but it is tentatively identified with Oum-Federa or Fodra in modern Tunisia.[2] During the Roman Empire the town was also the seat of an ancient episcopal see under Carthage.
History
[edit]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)
- Simon Ok Hyun-jin (2011-2022)
- Federico Guillermo Wechsung (2023-present)
