Aurusuliana

Aurusuliana was a Roman Era city located in what was the Roman Province of Byzacena (Roman North Africa) and today modern Tunisia. The exact site of the city remains unknown and a source of some controversy. It is now generally considered to have been in Tunisia, in the territory of Henchir-Guennara, but Bingham thought it in Tripoliana[1] while others thought Numidia.[2][3]

The city was also the seat of an ancient Christian Bishopric.[4] and one Bishop Habettus is known from antiquity.[5] The diocese survives today as a titular bishopric of the Roman Catholic Church and the current bishop is Adam Bałabuch of Poland.
