Gunugus

Gunugo, was an ancient Roman town of the Roman province of Mauritania Cesariense through the Vandal, Byzantine and Roman Empires.

The site of the ancient town has been tentitivly identified with Sidi-Brahim in today's Algeria,^[1] though there is some doubt of this identification.

The town was also the seat of an ancient Christian bishopric.^[2] (LA) Stefano Antonio Morcelli, Africa christiana, Volume I, (Brescia, 1816), p.177. </ref> The only known bishop of this diocese is Ausilio, who took part in the synod assembled in Carthage in 484AD by the Vandal King Huneric, after which Ausilio was exiled. Today Gunugo Diocese survives as a titular bishopric^[3] of the Roman Catholic Church and the current bishop is Vigilio Mario Olmi, of Brescia.^[4]
