The Diocese of Zagylis is the

Roman Catholic Church,[1] established in 1933 by Pope Pius XI, named after the ancient city of Zagylis in present-day Libya.[2]

This city was in the

Libya Inferior.[3] Since the foundation, the diocese had no titular bishop.[4]

The diocese re-establishes an

bishopric that flourished in the Roman Empire.[5]
Three bishops from antiquity are known.[6]

  1. Filocalo (fl.449)
  2. Massimo (fl.457)
  3. Giovanni (fl.480 circa)
