Muttugenna was an Early center of
Donatism and Augustine of Hippo visited the town to confront the Donatist
rebaptising. Indeed, only two bishops are known from Mutugenna, the two rival bishops at the
Council of Carthage (411), Catholic Antonio and Donatists Splendonio. The city was not far from
Hippo and the bishop
Augustine went there several times. On one occasion he heard there had been rebaptising of Catholics and he went to reproach the practise but was unable to find the people in question. Today Mutugenna survives as titular bishop; the current bishop is Roberto Bordi, auxiliary bishop of the
Apostolic Vicariate of
El Beni. ==References==
