Garriana was a civitas, Roman town of the Roman province, province of Byzacena during late antiquity. The town has tentatively been identified with the ruins at Henchir-El-Garra in modern Tunisia. The name Henchir-El-Garra simply means the ''Ruins of Garria''.
Ancient Henchir-El-Garra was also the cathedra, ecclesiastical seat of a Roman Catholic Church episcopal see. The only known bishop of this diocese was Secundus, who took part in the Council of Carthage (484), synod in Carthage in 484 called by the Vandal king Huneric, after which Secundus was exiled. Today Garriana survives as a titular bishopric and Rogelio Esquivel Medina of Mexico is the current bishop.Garriana
