The town was the seat of an ancient bishopric through the Byzantine Empire, Vandal Kingdom and Roman Empire.[3] [4] The only known bishop of this African diocese is Donato, who took part in the synod assembled in Carthage in 484 by the Vandal King Huneric, after which Donato was sent into exile.[5]
