591 – 698
Sovereign stateAfrica

Byzantine military governorate of reconquered North Africa, lost to the Arabs at the fall of Carthage.

The Exarchate of Africa was overrun by Umayyad forces under Hassan ibn al-Nu'man in 698 CE; the Battle of Carthage that year ended Byzantine resistance, and the city was deliberately destroyed to prevent reconquest, extinguishing the exarchate.
