Media was an ancient city and former bishopric in Roman North Africa, now a Latin Catholic titular see in Algeria.
History
Media was important enough in the Roman province of Mauretania Caesariensis, in the papal sway, to become one of the many suffragan dioceses, but was to fade completely, no ruins being identified.
Its only historically documented bishop was Emilius, who attended the synod of Carthage called in 484 by king Huneric of the Vandal Kingdom, after which he was banished like most Catholic participants, unlike the Donatist heretics. [1]
