Africa Proconsularis (125 AD)
Crepedula was an ancient Roman-Berber civitas in the province of Byzacena in Africa Proconsularis. It was located in modern Tunisia. The town was also the seat of a Catholic diocese.[1][2][3]
There are three known bishops of this diocese.
- The catholic bishop Barbarianus Creperulensis attended the Council of Carthage (411), he had no Donatists competitors.
- Felix was among the Catholic bishops summoned to Carthage by the Vandal king Huneric in 484.
- Finally, among the signatories of a letter against Monotheitilism dated 646 was Speranza.
Today Crepedula survives as titular bishopric and the current Bishop is Karl Borsch,[4] of Aachen.[5]
