When did Macedonia beat up Carthage? There were wars between the Greeks of Magna Graecia in the 4th and 3rd centuries BCE, including one in which King Pyrrhus intervened. As far as I know, Carthage came out of those is fair shape, not beaten up. During the Second Punic War Carthage allied with King Philip V of Macedon, not that it did them any real good.
The Greeks never really did anything to the Carthaginian other than the occasional very small dispute over an Island colony.
