Vegesela in Byzacena was a Roman Era town tentatively identified with ruins at Henchir-Recba in modern Tunisia. [1] The town was in the Roman province of Byzacena.
The ancient town was also the seat of an ancient Christian Bishopric, which survives today as a titular see of the Roman Catholic Church. [2] René Coba Galarza is the current Bishop.

Today the diocese of Vegesela in Byzacena (Latin: Dioecesis Vegeselitana in Byzacena) is a suppressed and titular see of the Roman Catholic Church. [5] [6]
There are only six documented bishops of Vegesela in Byzacena.
