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] At the Council of Carthage[clarification needed], 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."[3] The bishopric survives today as a titular see of the Roman Catholic Church, held by Bishop Mark Steven Rivituso, an Auxiliary Bishop of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Saint Louis; he was ordained on May 2, 2017.[4][5][6]
