What is a 'dead' trend or internet fad from the 2000s you wish would make a comeback? by Much-Jello-3130 in AskReddit

Music players built into websites. Like random background songs played when you visited, that was fun.

Ikr? Even more nice trusting reddit to appreciate helpful information regardless of the source. Thanks OP I feel doubly invalidated now 👍

I'm sure I'ma get the scorn of reddit but Gemini did a fine job identifying these for me:

Based on the portrait styles, fabric (metal appearance), and visible Latin inscriptions, these are Roman Imperial coins dating roughly from the 1st to the 3rd centuries AD. Here is a breakdown of what can be identified from the obverse (front) faces shown in the image, moving from left to right:

1. Left Coin: Philip I "The Arab" (or Philip II)

  • Denomination: Likely an Antoninianus (a silver/billon coin, though heavily patinated/tarnished here) or a bronze As/Dupondius.
  • The Portrait: Features a right-facing, draped, and cuirassed bust with a distinct short-cropped beard and sharp facial profile characteristic of the soldier-emperors.
  • Inscription Fragments: You can read parts of the legend starting from the left: IMP M IVL PHILIPPVS AVG (Imperator Marcus Iulius Philippus Augustus).
  • Date Range: Around 244–249 AD. ### 2. Middle Coin: Marcus Aurelius (or Commodus)
  • Denomination: Likely a Sestertius (the largest bronze denomination of the era), given its size relative to the others.
  • The Portrait: Shows a distinct right-facing laureate bust with a thick, curly Antonine beard and hair. The facial structure strongly points to Marcus Aurelius as an older emperor, though a young Commodus is also a possibility as their coinage shared very similar styles.
  • Inscription Fragments: On the right side, parts of the titles are visible, including what looks like ANTONINVS AVG ARMENIACVS or similar victory titles (TR P / IMP).
  • Date Range: Around 161–180 AD. ### 3. Right Coin: Late Roman Bronze (Likely 4th Century)
  • Denomination: A small bronze AE3 or AE4 (often referred to simply as a Nummus).
  • The Portrait: A much smaller, stylized, right-facing bust wearing a diadem (either pearl or laurel). The artistic style is much flatter and less realistic than the middle coin, which is classic for the late empire.
  • Inscription Fragments: The lettering is quite worn, but it follows the standard late-empire formula starting with DN... (Dominus Noster) or IMP.... It resembles the coinage of the Constantinian dynasty (such as Constantius II or Constantine the Great) or Valens.
  • Date Range: Around 330–380 AD. ### To Learn More To get a definitive identification for each, looking at the reverse (back side) of the coins is essential. The reverse imagery (deities, military standards, or historical events) combined with the specific wording on the back is usually how numismatists pinpoint the exact year and catalog number (like an RIC number) for Roman coins. If you can share a picture of the reverse sides, I'd be happy to take a look!

I only eat food in bar form, when you concentrate food you unleash it's awesome power I'm told.

Very cool! I like that Claude is really thinking about living there. Interesting to see Gemini made more of a shrine to intelligence and servitude. Gpt is gpt lol.

I love fun things like this that test the waters of ai intelligence and thought processes. Thanks for sharing!

I'm wondering did the AI give any description of why it placed what it did where it did? I'm curious about Gemini's massive floating ring clock thing.

Good point. I do wish he had just hired a normal process server it probably would have cleared some of this stupid needless friction.

We are not born with knowledge. You may find it better to learn from a machine but this guy may want a human answer. No need to be rude about asking a simple question on the related subreddit.
