Nothing is known of the city, the name of which may have been Hirina, Hiren or Iren, except that it was in the [Roman province](/source/Roman_province) of [Byzacena](/source/Byzacena). It is now a Latin [titular bishopric](/source/titular_bishopric). == Ecclesiastical history == It was one of the many [suffragan](/source/suffragan) dioceses of the Metropolitan Archbishopric of [Hadrumetum](/source/Hadrumetum) (Sousse). Three bishops are known: * Tertullian, present at the conference of [Carthage](/source/Carthage) in 311 * Saturus, exiled in 484 by [Huneric](/source/Huneric) with many other bishops * Theodore, who in 641 signed the letter from the [Council of Byzacium](/source/Council_of_Byzacium) to Constantine, son of Heraclius, against [Monothelitism](/source/Monothelitism). == Titular see == It was nominally restored as Latin [Roman Catholic](/source/Roman_Catholic) [titular see](/source/titular_see) of the lowest (episcopal) rank, Hirine (until 1924 also called Hirena) or Irina in Italian.
