Africa Proconsularis (125 AD).

Turuzi was an ancient city situated in the Roman province of Africa proconsularis. Its exact location is now lost to history, but it was somewhere in northern Tunisia.[1]

The town was the seat of an ancient christian bishopric,[2] which survives today as a titular see of the Roman Catholic Church, which will be held by the Reverend Monsignor Mark Steven Rivituso, V.G., when he is ordained an Auxiliary Bishop for the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Saint Louis on Tuesday, May 2, 2017.[3][4][5][6] At the Council of Carthage, Habetdeum a Donatist leader spoke of the Bishopric at Turuzi saying "we do have a bishop there, one Cattus", to which the Catholic Bishop Serotinus retorted "sure he is there, and he is totally useless"[7]
