• Source: Urusi

      • Urusi was a civitas and ancient episcopal see of the Roman province of Africa Proconsularis in present-day Tunisia.
      The town flourished from 30BC until 640AD and has been tentatively identified with ruins at Henchir Soudga, (35.98709°N 9.57727°E / 35.98709; 9.57727) in Siliana Governorate. The ruins lie just outside the Jebel Serj National Park.


      Bishopric


      The town was made famous by the courage of the martyr Mansuetus of Urusi, who was burned alive, according to Victor of Vita at the gate of Urusi. In 305, during the same persecution the basilicas of Lemsa, Zama and Furni, Tunisia had been burned.
      The diocese was established in 1933 as a titular see.
