Ausuaga is an ancient city and former bishopric in Roman Africa.[1] It is currently a Latin Catholic titular see. Its present location is somewhere in modern Tunisia.

History

Ausuaga was important enough in the Roman province of Africa proconsularis to become one of the many suffragans of its great capital Carthage's Metropolitan Archbishop, but was to fade like most.

In 1989 it was nominally restored as a Latin titular bishopric.
