Researchers have developed an AI model, Aeneas, to help reconstruct fragmented ancient Roman inscriptions. Trained on over 176,000 Latin texts, the neural network predicts missing text, origin, and date by analyzing linguistic and historical patterns. It accurately analyzed complex inscriptions like Augustus’s *Res Gestae* and was found helpful by historians in 90% of cases. Experts emphasize its value as a tool to complement, not replace, human interpretation.
