Crepedula

Crepedula was an ancient Roman–Berber civitas in the province of Byzacena in Africa Proconsularis. It was located in modern Tunisia. The town was also the seat of a Catholic diocese.

There are three known bishops of this diocese.

• The Catholic bishop Barbarianus Creperulensis attended the Council of Carthage (411), he had no Donatists competitors.
• Felix was among the Catholic bishops summoned to Carthage in 484 by the Vandal king Huneric.
• Finally, among the signatories of a letter against monothelitism dated 646 was Speranza.

Today Crepedula survives as titular bishopric and the current bishop is Karl Borsch, of Aachen.
