Presidium, identifiable with ruins at Henchir-Somâa in present-day Tunisia, is an ancient episcopal seat of the Roman province of Byzacena.[2]

There are two bishops known from this diocese.[3] [4]

Today, Presidio survives as a titular see; the current titular bishop is Roger William Gries, former auxiliary bishop of Cleveland.
