Ausafa or Uzappa[1] was a Roman era town, in the Roman province of Africa Proconsularis and in late antiquity Byzacena.
Location
[edit]The town is tentatively identified with the ruins of Ksour-Abd-El-Melek near the town of Maktar in Siliana Governorate, northern Tunisia.
In antiquity, the town was the seat of an ancient episcopal see of the Roman province of Byzacena.[2][3][4]
Bishopric
[edit]We know of two bishops of Ausafa. The first is Felix, who was present at the Council of Carthage (256), where he discussed the problem of the Lapsi.[5] Secondly Salvius Ausafensis participated in the Council of Cabarsussi, held in 393 by Maximianus, a dissident sect of the Donatists, and he signed the acts of that council.[6] Today Ausafa survives as a titular bishopric, the bishop was Warlito Itucas Cajandig, Apostolic Vicar of Calapan.[7][8]
