Beth She'arim (Hebrew: בית שערים‎) is the archeological site of a town and a necropolis on the southern foothills of The Lower Galilee. Most of the remains date from the 2nd to 4th Century CE. The inscriptions in the catacombs reveal that the necropolis was of regional importance. Although several inscriptions refer to "rabbis", it is not certain that these are connected to the rabbis we find in the rabbinic literature of the same period.
