Sicilibba


Sicilibba was an ancient Roman town of the Roman province of proconsular Africa. The ancient town is tentatively identifiable with the ruins at Alaouine in today's Tunisia.
Sicilibba was also the seat of an ancient Christian bishopric, suffraged by the Archdiocese of Carthage. There are four known bishops of Sicilibba.
To these bishops, Morcelli adds the donatist Honorius, mentioned in 337. However, According to Mesnage, it would not be the name of a bishop but of the adjective honoratum jugulum that is present in the text on which Morcelli leans. In that case it is to merely identify the Honored Bishop.
Today Sicilibba survives only as a titular bishopric of the Roman Catholic Church, The current bishop is Christoph Hegge, auxiliary bishop of Münster.
