    • Abstract:
      The article focuses on an architectural and social study of Tetrarchic Minitary Baths in Palaestina and Arabia conducted by Educational and Cultural Affairs Fellow Robert Darby. The results indicated that the baths at 'En Hazeva, Yotvata and 'En Avdat conform to Krencker's angular row type, with an easily identifiable room sequence. Furthermore, it is noted that the bath complexes are situated in a manner that maintains and respects the directional orientation of their associated forts.
