The Italian Catholic diocese of Tivoli has existed since the 2nd century. In 2002 territory was added to it from the Territorial Abbey of Subiaco. The diocese is a suffragan of the Archdiocese of Rome. Tivoli was strongly fortified by Belisarius in the Gothic War, but almost destroyed by Totila in 340. After the Lombard invasion it was in the power of the Byzantines and formed part of the patrimony of St. Peter. It had a count, representing the emperor. In 916 Pope John X won a memorable victory there over the Saracens. It rebelled at times against the popes, under Emperor Henry IV and Emperor Henry V, and against Pope Innocent II; at other times it fought against the Roman rebels, as under Pope Eugene III and Pope Adrian IV. In the 13th century the Senate of Rome succeeded (under Pope Innocent IV) in imposing a tribute on the city, and arrogated to itself the right of appointing a count to govern it in conjunction with the local consuls.
