Africa proconsularis SPQR

Volitanus also known as Voli and Bolitana[1] was a Roman era civitas (town)[2] of Africa Proconsularis,[3] a suffragan metropolis of Carthage in Roman North Africa.[4]

Location

The town of Voli is now in modern Tunisia, though the exact location of Voli is not known for certain[5] The village of Sidi Medien Zaghouan province (latitude 36°20'3.57", longitude 10°5'22.15") has been suggested due to similarity of names. The issue with Sidi Medien is that here the Roman Era town appears to have been a colonia, by the name of Vallitanus[6] (Vallis) while the name of Voli was probably Bolitana.

Bishopric

The town was a seat of a Bishopric[7] in Africa Proconsularis and suffran to Cartagine, it remains a titular see of the Roman Catholic Church.

Augustine records that the Diocese of Carthage celebrated the feast day of the martyrs of Bolitana[8] on 17 October.[9][10]

The deacon Peregrinus of Bolitana civitas who was martyred under Diocletian after his conviction by the proconsul Caius Annius Anullinus He has a feast day of 23 April.

In 418, Bishop Muranus (Catholic) attended the Council of Carthage, and in 484 Bonifatius (Catholic).[12] attended the Council of Huneric, king of the Vandals.[13]
