The ancient town is tentatively identifiable with the ruins at Alaouine (or Alaouenine) in today's Tunisia.
Sicilibba was also the seat of an ancient Christian bishopric,[1] suffraged by the Archdiocese of Carthage.
To these bishops, Morcelli adds the donatist Honorius, mentioned in 337.

[4] Today Sicilibba survives only as a titular bishopric of the Roman Catholic Church, The current bishop is Christoph Hegge, auxiliary bishop of Münster.
