Rougga is a town in southern Tunisia located in Sfax Governorate, on the Oued er Rougga wadi. Rougga is the Berber name of the town, which is known as Raqqa in Arabic.[1] The town is located on the site of Ancient Roman African city and former bishopric Bararus, which remains a Latin Catholic titular see. HistoryA veteran of this city is mentioned in a list of soldiers from Nicopolis, a Roman garrison suburb of Alexandria, Egypt, recruited in Africa province.[2] The city was devastated by an earthquake in 365[3] after which the forum appears to have been abandoned[4] The 6th century was a time of great affluence for the town, with a golden solidi coin hoard testifying to this wealth. The town appears on the Roman Tabula Peutingeriana road map[5] By the 7th century there is evidence of fortified housing,[6] though pottery remains indicate a continuance of occupation to the 10th century, well after the Muslim conquest of the Maghreb.[7] The Roman town was sacked by Ibn Sa'd in 647 AD.[8][9] A Berber population moved in following the Islamic conquest and used the Roman building matterials for other settlements.[10] Ecclesiastical historyThe city was also the seat of an ancient bishopric, like many suffragan of the Metropolitan of Carthage, in the papal sway, like most also destined to fade, presumably at the advent of Islam. Its only historically documented bishop , Iulianus Vararitanus (or Bararitanus), was found on the lists of bishops in Byzacena province having attended in 484[11] the Council of Carthage (484) called by Arian king Huneric of the Vandal Kingdom, after which most Catholic bishops (including him?) were exiles, unlike their schismatic Donatist colleagues. Titular seeThe diocese was nominally restored in 1933 as titular bishopric of Bararus (Latin) / Bararo (Curiate Italian) / Baraitan(us) (Latin adjective). It is vacant since decades, having had the following incumbents, so far of the fitting Episcopal (lowest) rank:
