Roman-style baths were an empire-wide phenomenon and a ubiquitous feature in the provincial landscape, but these complex and culturally significant buildings were not passively adopted by those living in Rome’s provinces. Instead, provincial building industries applied their own well-developed and deeply entrenched building traditions to the construction of these facilities.

n this talk, I will defend contingentism, the natural idea that some things exist contingently. Had my parents not met, I would not have existed. It might be surprising that an everyday idea like contingentism needs defence, but natural reasoning principles concerning possibility and necessity on the one hand, and the existential and universal quantifiers on the other, have led some to necessitism, the view that everything that exists, exists necessarily.
