Cannabaceae

Africa Proconsularis (125 AD)

Thunusruma (Tunudruma) was a RomanBerber civitas (town) in the province of Africa Proconsularis. Its exact location is uncertain, but it must have been somewhere in northern Tunisia.

In antiquity, the town was also the seat of a Christian diocese, suffragan of the Archdiocese of Carthage.[1]

Only one bishop of this diocese is known, Ottaviano, who intervened at the Council of Carthage (525). Tunudruma is now a titular bishopric of the Roman Catholic Church[2] and the current bishop is Josef Hrdlička of Olomouc.[3]

  1. Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
