Fussala was a town in the Roman province of Numidia that became a Christian bishopric.
The town and bishopric disappeared after the Muslim conquest of the Maghreb, but the bishopric has been revived as a titular see of the Catholic Church,[1] Fussala was a fortified town situated forty miles from Saint Augustine's Hippo Regius.
In about 416, Augustine of Hippo appointed as Catholic bishop of Fussala, then inhabited for the most part by Donatists, a young man named Antoninus, who robbed the people there and was removed.
[2] Antoninus insisted on being restored to Fussala, even appealing to the Apostolic See, but was resolutely opposed by the faithful of the see.
In a long letter of his, Augustine recounts the series of problems that Antoninus had caused.
