Azura, Numidia

Azura was an ancient civitas and bishopric in Roman North Africa.

Azura was one of many cities of sufficient importance in the Roman(-Berber) province of Numidia to become a suffragan.

The town was located near present-day Henchir-Loulou (itself a former Roman city and bishopric, Rotaria), Algeria.

Azura did not send a representative to the Council of Nicaea[1] nor Chalcedon.

[2] As a bishopric, Azura was represented by the Catholic bishop Victor at the Conference of Carthage (411), where the Catholics declared the schismatic Donatist bishops heretics.
