Where was Tertullian born?

Answer 1

According to both Eusebius and St. Jerome (according to the Oxford Dictionary of the Christian Church, usually abbreviated verbally to "the ODCC"),Quintus Septimius Florens Tertullianus (or Tertullian, as abbreviated and Anglicized) was born in the Roman provincial capital of Carthage, in the year 160 A.D. His father was a Roman army official, and Tertullian himself received the quality education of a Roman officer's child, including aspects of Imperial Roman Law; for this reason in much more modern times he's been occasionally mixed up with, or has had his work combined with that of, another Tertullianus, a Roman jurist who shared the same last name [perhaps for this reason True Knowledge, responding to my own question to "Answers.com" (I was living outside the country and without my theological library at the time I asked) had him being born in both "Rome and Tunisia" (which, given 1st Century AD travel times, would imply a really difficult delivery for his mother!)-- the ancient city of Carthage is now a suburb of the modern Tunisian capital, Tunis.]
