Muzuca in Byzacena

Muzuca was a Roman Town of the Roman province of Byzacena during late antiquity.[1] The town has tentatively been identified with the ruins at Henchir-Besra in modern Tunisia.[2][3] Very little is known of the city,[4] though in situ epigraphical evidence gives us the name and that in late antiquity it achieved the status of Municipium.[5] Muzuca was also the seat of an ancient episcopal see of the Roman Catholic Church,[6] survives as a titular bishopric.[7]
