Asellicus of Tusuros was a 4th-century bishop of Tusuros, a Roman Town in what was Roman North Africa. He is known for being outspoken at the Council of Carthage of 411 and from a number of epistles with Augustine and Donatian of Reims. In late antiquity Tusuros was on the Limes Tripolitanus adjoining the Sahara. Strabo described the area as like a leopard's skin, spotted with inhabited places ... that are surrounded by waterless and desert land. This tough and remote location was home to numerous Christian beliefs that were divergent from mainstream Catholicism.
