Shhiim (Arabic: شحيم) (IPA: ʃħiːm) alternatively written as Shheem or Chhim/Chehim is a town in Lebanon which is located 40 kilometres south-east of Beirut.

The town is notable for a very well-preserved archaeological site located there, including a Roman sanctuary, a Christian basilica, residential structures, and oil presses.

[2][3] In the era of prosperity in the 2nd century AD, the villagers of Chhim decided to erect a Roman temple on the southern end of the settlement.

[3] Haroutune Kalayan reconstructed the temple in the 1970s, and in the 1990s, Renata Ortali Tarazi from the Directorate General of Antiquities of Lebanon (DGA) undertook the task of site preservation.

She started a three-way cooperation with the Institut français du Proche-Orient (IFPO), represented by Lévon Nordiguian, and the Polish Centre of Mediterranean Archaeology, University of Warsaw (PCMA UW).

Apart from the Roman temple, archaeologists discovered houses clustered along narrow streets, oil presses, and a Christian basilica with mosaics, dated to AD 498.

Most of them depict geometrical patterns, but floral and figural motifs also occur; birds and vessels appear on the surfaces between columns.
