Abstract
This paper presents a description and analysis of a long section of brass chain discovered in recent excavations of the bathhouse at Tiberias. Segments of a similar chain were uncovered in earlier excavations at the site, and are also published here. Comparative analysis shows these objects to be chains for the suspension of lamps from a ceiling. Textual, artefactual and art historical evidence suggests that they were manufactured in the late tenth or eleventh century CE.
