Roman Tagarbala was also the seat of an ancient Christian episcopal see.Pius Bonifacius Gams, Series episcoporum Ecclesiae Catholicae, (Leipzig, 1931), p. 468.Stefano Antonio Morcelli, Africa christiana, Volume I, (Brescia, 1816), p. 298. One bishop is known of this ancient diocese, Fortunatianus, who participated in the synod in Carthage in 484 called by the Vandal king Huneric, after which Fortunatianus was exiled.

Today Tagarbala survives as titular bishopric. Bishop Joseph Espaillat, is the titular bishop.{{Cite web |title=Tagarbala (Titular See) [Catholic-Hierarchy] |url=https://www.catholic-hierarchy.org/diocese/d2t20.html |access-date=2023-11-19 |website=www.catholic-hierarchy.org}}
