History
Under the Roman Empire, it was called Coeliana, perhaps after the name of the Coelii Maximi family,J. Mesnage, [https://archive.org/stream/lafriquechrtienn00mesn#page/258/mode/2up/search/Coeliana L'Afrique Chrétienne: Évèchés et ruines antiques] (Paris, 1912), p. 259 and was part of the Roman province of Numidia.
Bishop Quodvultdeus of Coeliana was one of the Catholic bishops whom the Arian Vandal king Huneric summoned to Carthage in 484 and then exiled.Stefano Antonio Morcelli, [https://books.google.com/books?id=dO4-AAAAcAAJ&pg=PA113 Africa christiana], Volume I, Brescia 1816, p. 113 Pius Bonifacius Gams,[http://www.wbc.poznan.pl/dlibra/doccontent?id=65154&dirids=1 Series episcoporum Ecclesiae Catholicae], Leipzig 1931, p. 464
No longer a residential bishopric, Coeliana is today listed by the Catholic Church as a titular see.Annuario Pontificio 2013 (Libreria Editrice Vaticana 2013 {{ISBN|978-88-209-9070-1}}), p. 865
