Urusi was a civitas and ancient episcopal see of the Roman Province of Proconsular Africa in present-day Tunisia.
The town flourished from 30BC until 640AD and has been tentatively identified with ruins at Henchir Soudga, (9.57727n 35.98709e) in Siliana Governorate. The ruins lie just outside the Jebel Serj National Park.
Bishopric
The town was made famous by the courage of the martyr Mansuetus of Urusi, who was burned alive, according to Victor of Vita at the gate of Urusi. In 305, during the same persecution the basilicas of Lemsa, Zama and Furni, Tunisia had been burned.
The Diocese was re-created in name at least,in 1933 as a titular see and listed in the Annuario Pontificio.
