Bonusta

Bonusta was a town, not far from Carthage, in the Roman province of Africa Proconsularis.

[1] At the Conference of Carthage (411), which brought together for joint discussion the Catholic and Donatist bishops of Roman Africa, Bonusta was represented by the Catholic bishop Rufinianus.

Primianus, a Donatist, responded: "He (Rufinianus) was one of us.

"[1][2][3] In the Notitia Provinciarum et Civitatum Africae,[4] the name of Bishop Cyprianus of Bonusta appears in the 31st place in the list of Catholic bishops of Africa Proconsularis whom the Vandal king Huneric summoned to Carthage in 484 and then exiled.

[1][2][3] No longer a residential bishopric, Bonusta is today listed by the Catholic Church as a titular see.
