The ethnic composition of north Africa was pretty different back then. It changed a lot after Rome fell and muslims took over.

Carthage was phoenician, they would have probably looked like a more sicilian version of modern libyans. Carthage was one of Romes first big conquests. There were Roman settlements, around, and I think there were some older settlements of Greeks around too. There were berbers there too and that's probably the darkest skinned ethnic group in the Roman empire, but they are not as dark as that image shows.
