About
Rusubbicari, located at modern-day Zemmouri El Bahri in Algeria, was originally a Phoenician and Carthaginian colony before becoming a Roman town in the province of Mauretania Caesariensis. The site is marked by its transition through significant historical periods, beginning in the Late Iron Age with its establishment by Phoenician and Carthaginian settlers. It flourished as a Roman town in the Early Classical Period, reflecting the strategic importance of the region. By the Late Classical Period, Rusubbicari had developed into a Christian bishopric, indicating the spread of Christianity across the Roman Empire. The linguistic roots of its name suggest a blend of Phoenician and local Berber influence. Today, it is recognized as a Catholic titular see, exemplifying its enduring religious significance.
