The most developed civilization in the Mediterranean until it was sacked by Rome was Carthage.

Carthage, located in present-day Tunisia, was a powerful city-state and trade hub that dominated the western Mediterranean through its advanced maritime trade networks and military prowess. The civilization was known for its wealth, architecture, and cultural achievements, rivaling other great civilizations of the time, especially Rome.

Carthage's conflicts with Rome, particularly the Punic Wars, ultimately led to its downfall. After the Third Punic War (149-146 BCE), Carthage was destroyed, marking the end of its prominence and influence in the region. The legacy of Carthage's civilization, however, continued to be influential in the history of the Mediterranean and the development of Western civilization.
