# Gisipa

The Diocese of Gisipa (Latin: Rite Gisipensis) is a home suppressed and titular see of the Roman Catholic Church, suffragan of the Archdiocese of Carthage.

## Location

The bishopric of Gisipa, was centered on a Roman town called Gisipam, the location of which is now lost to history, although being in Africa Proconsularis it is certain that it was in what is modern north Tunisia.

## History

The sources mention four bishops.

* The Catholic bishop, Gennaro attended the Council of Carthage (411)
* Carissimo took part in the Synod of Carthage in 484 called by the Vandal king Huneric, after which Carissimo was exiled
* Redento attended the Council of Carthage (525)
