Sicilibba
Sicilibba was an ancient Roman town of the Roman province of proconsular Africa. The ancient town is tentatively identifiable with the ruins at Alaouine in today's Tunisia.
Sicilibba was also the seat of an ancient Christian bishopric, suffraged by the Archdiocese of Carthage. There are four known bishops of Sicilibba.
- Sazio took part in the Council of Carthage (256) called by Saint Cyprian to discuss the issue of the lapsii, those who had fallen away from Christian belief.
- The Donatist Quadraziano attended the Council of Carthage (411), between the [Roman Roman Catholic Church|Catholic Church|Catholic] bishops and Donatists of Roman Africa. On that occasion Sicilibba had no Catholic bishop.
- Pretestato participated in the council in Carthage in 419 called by Saint Aurelius.
- Bonifacio took part in the synod assembled in Carthage in 484 by the Arian King Huneric of the Vandal Kingdom, after which Boneface was exiled.
Today Sicilibba survives only as a titular bishopric of the Roman Catholic Church, The current bishop is Christoph Hegge, auxiliary bishop of Münster.
