Name
The name “Ruspe” is usually understood to be a hellenization of a Phoenician name including the element “rush” (, {{sc|rÅ¡}}), meaning “head” or “headland”. The Tabula Peutingeriana notes the Byzacenan towns of Ruspina and Ruspe, the latter being to the south of the former.Image of section of the Tabula Peutingeriana with Ruspe Ptolemy’s Geography usually mentions the same two towns in the same order,Henricus de Noris in Migne’s Supplement to the Works of Augustine, Patrologia Latina, vol. 47, col. 297B although Stevenson’s defective English translation gives “Ruspina” and “Rheuspena”.Book IV, Chapter 3 The name “Ruspe”, a Greek feminine singular name, also appears in a list of dioceses that the Greek Orthodox Patriarchate of Alexandria saw as dependent on itself at the beginning of the 8th century. Henricus de Noris considered it equivalent to the Latin Ruspa. “Ruspae”, a Latin feminine plural name, was preferred by Alexander MacBean,Alexander MacBean, Samuel Johnson, A Dictionary of Ancient Geography (G. Robinson, 1773) William Smith,William Smith, Dictionary of Greek and Roman Geography (1854) Morcelli; Mesnage, and the Annuario Pontificio.Geography
According to the Tabula Peutingeriana, Ruspe was situated between Acholla and Usilla. It was near the promontory that Ptolemy called Brachodes, the Romans’ Caput Vadorum, later known as Capaudia or{{mdash}}in Arabic{{mdash}}QaboudiaEdward Gibbon, The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire, 5 (Baudry’s European Library, 1840), chapter 41, footnote 15 (cf. Chebba).Ruspe was commonly identified with the ruins known as Sbia or Henchir Sbia in present-day Tunisia, four miles west of that cape.Sophrone Pétridès, “Ruspe” in Catholic Encyclopedia (New York 1912) An alternative site is that of the ruins known as Ksour Siad. In the mid-20th century, a new argument emerged in favour of Koudiat Rosfa, 30 kilometers north of Sfax,The Princeton Encyclopedia of Classical Sites (1976) because of the discovery in 1947 of an inscription at Henchir Bou TriaHenchir Bou Tria: Tunisia that seems to identify that place with ancient Acholla. (Saumagne had earlier proposed to identify it with Ruspe.) A nearby headland is called Rass Bou Tria.Rass Bou Tria This identification of Acholla gives grounds for considering Ptolemy mistaken in placing Acholla and Usilla north of Cape Brachodes and for identifying Ruspe as Koudiat Rosfa, which is seen as having preserved the ancient name in an Arabic form. Excavations at Koudiat Rosfa have not confirmed the perhaps flattering description applied to the city by Fulgentius’s biographer Ferrandus: “a noble town illustrious for its famous inhabitants” ().G. Ch. Picard, “Ruspe” in Enciclopedia dell’Arte Antica (Treccani 1965)Religion
The city was important enough in the Roman province of Byzacena to become a suffragan of its Metropolitan of Archdiocese of Hadrumetum, but was to fade.Bishops of Ruspe earlier than Saint Fulgentius (Italian: Fulgenzio di Ruspe) whose names are known are- Secundus, who was at the Conference of Carthage (411) that brought together Catholic and Donatist bishops â Morcelli assigns him instead to an otherwise unknown diocese of Ruspina â
- Stephanus, one of the Catholic bishops whom the Arian Vandal king Huneric summoned to Carthage in 484 and then exiled.
- Iulianus attended the Council of Carthage (646), an anti-Monothelitism council.J. Mesnage, L’Afrique chrétienne, (Paris, 1912), pp. 140â141Stefano Antonio Morcelli, Africa christiana, Volume I, (Brescia, 1816), pp. 265â266Pius Bonifacius Gams, Series episcoporum Ecclesiae Catholicae, (Leipzig, 1931), p. 468.
