Libertina was a town of the Roman province of Byzacena in North Africa during the Roman Empire.[1][2] The town is tentatively identified with ruins near Souc-El-Arba, Tunisia.[3]
The town was also the seat of a Christian bishopric,[4] which survives as an ancient suppressed and titular see of the Roman Catholic Church in North Africa.[5] During the 5th century the Catholic Bishop Victor and his Donatist rival, bishop Januarius, exchanged heated words at the Council of Carthage in 411.[6] There appears to have been sectarian violence in Libertina during the lead up to the council.
The current bishop Andreas Laun of Salzburg, Austria.[7] resigned in October 2017.[8]
