Octaba was an ancient Roman–Berber city in the province of Africa Proconsularis and Byzacena in late antiquity.[1] Its exact location is now lost, but it was in the Sahel region of Tunisia. In 484AD the towns bishop, Sabinico, who was a catholic attended a Synod in Carthage called by the Arian king Huneric, the Vandal.[2] At the conclusion of that Synod, Sabinico was sent into excel by the King.
Today Octabia survives only as a titular bishopric of the Roman Catholic Church.
