CISSA. - This small town in Istria, situated on an island a short distance from the present-day city of Rovigno, was the site of a purple-dye manufactory subject to the imperial monopoly. It appears as an episcopal see at the end of the 6th century during the schism of the Three Chapters; it disappears after the end of the 7th century, it is not known exactly when, following a seismic phenomenon in which the city itself was swallowed by the sea.
