Pertusa (Africa)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Pertusa was an ancient city and diocese in Tunisia. It is now a Catholic titular bishopric.
The Bishopric of Ad Pertusa was centered on the ancient Roman civitas of Pertvsa, which has been identified with ruins at modern El-Haraïria, an outer suburb of Tunis. During the Roman Empire Pertusa was located in the Roman province of Africa Proconsularis and was important enough to become a bishopric, which was suffragan to the nearby Metropolitan, of Carthage.
The town is mentioned[1] in the Antonini Itinerarium.[2]
