Henchir-Khachoum
Henchir-Khachoum is a locality and series of archaeological sites in Sidi Bouzid Governorate modern Tunisia. The ruins are strewn along a tributary of the Oued El Hatech river east of Sbeitla. During the Roman Empire there was a Roman town of the Roman province of Africa Proconsularis, called Muzuca, one of two North African towns to bare that name.
In antiquity the town was also the seat of a Christian bishopric, suffragan of the Archdiocese of Carthage.
There are three documented bishops of Muzuca.
- Gennaro took part in the Council of Carthage (256) called by St. Cyprian to discuss the question of the lapsi.
- The Catholic bishop Rufiniano who attended the Council of Carthage (411), and the Council of Carthage (419) called by Saint Aurelius.
- Felice took part in the synod of 484 called by the Vandal king Huneric, after which Felice was exiled.
