The city of Bononia lay within the ancient [Roman province](/wiki/Roman_province "Roman province") of [Dacia Ripensis](/wiki/Dacia_Ripensis "Dacia Ripensis"). Under its present name of [Vidin](/wiki/Vidin "Vidin"), it is part of [Bulgaria](/wiki/Bulgaria "Bulgaria").[*Catholic Hierarchy* page](http://www.catholic-hierarchy.org/diocese/d2b77.html)

It was important enough to become a [suffragan](/wiki/Suffragan "Suffragan") bishopric of the Metropolitan Archbishop of the provincial capital [Raziaria](/wiki/Raziaria "Raziaria").
The [Latin](/wiki/Latin "Latin") [adjective](/wiki/Adjective "Adjective") by which the diocese is referred to is *Bononiensis*.
