Buslacena was a Roman town and the seat of an ancient Christian bishopric in the Roman province of Africa Proconsularis.

Bishopric

[edit]

We know of only one bishop of the town, Felix, who attended the Council of Carthage (256) to discuss the issue of the Lapsi.[1] The bishopric survives to day as a titular see of the Roman Catholic Church with only one modern bishop, Alfredo Victor Petit Vergel.[2][3]
