The archaeological site of Sabratha is an excavated Numidian and later Roman city situed near present-day Sabratha, Libya.
It was a Phoenician trading-post that served as an outlet for the products of the African hinterland, and later part of the short-lived Numidian Kingdom of Massinissa before being Romanized and rebuilt in the 2nd and 3rd centuries A.D.
