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,Joseph Bingham, Origines ecclesiasticae, Volume 3 (1840) p233. while others placed it in Numidia.Abraham Rees, The Cyclopædia; Or, Universal Dictionary of Arts, Sciences, and Literature. Volume 3 (1819).François Morenas, Portable Historical Dictionary of Sacred Geography (1759).p115.
The city was also the seat of an ancient Christian bishopric,Joseph Bingham, Origines ecclesiasticae, Volume 3 (1840) p233. and one bishop, Habettus, is known from antiquity.Historical-political-geographic atlas of the whole world; Or Large and complete geographical and Critisches Lexicon (Heinsius, 1744). p1825.
