Aurusuliana was a Roman Era city located in what was the Roman Province of Byzacena (Roman North Africa) and today modern Tunisia. The exact site of the city remains unknown and a source of some controversy. It is now generally considered to have been in Tunisia, in the territory of Henchir-Guennara, but Bingham thought it in Tripoliana while others thought Numidia.
