Several types of Roman chain may be of interest:
Chain used on Ships and River Boats
Chain and Hook for Ship combat
Construction chains carried by the Legion
and
Restraint chains used for slaves and prisoners
I find very little on internet searches (I guess chain isn't something museums post photos of.)
And a RAT search returns TOO many threads because of "Chain Mail"
Anyone have any information?
