Aurusuliana

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

The city was also the seat of an ancient Christian bishopric,[4] and one bishop, Habettus, is known from antiquity.[5]
