I came across this picture taken at an ancient Roman site (name & location not provided) and was wondering what kind of structure it is. I've searched for fountains, wells, milestones, and memorials, but was not able to find anything similar to this one. Would appreciate it if someone knows what it is and how it was used! Plus I'd like to know if there's a Latin name for it. Thanks.enter image description here

    Do you have any other pictures from other sides? I am sort of thinking it is a fountain because of the basin, but your guess is as good as mine.

This is a roman fountain at Djemila, Algeria (Latin: Cuicul or Curculum). There's a vast number of literature and web sources on Djemila in general (and some on the fountain), for example:



  • The Princeton Encyclopedia of Classical Sites (Richard Stillwell et al), on Cuicul in general

  • Cuicul: New/Severian Town

  • The french Wikipedia article on Djemila is quite comprehensive and has a section about the fountain

  • William Lloyd MacDonald, The Architecture of the Roman Empire

How many registers does an x86_64 CPU actually have?

Image
Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP up vote 2 down vote favorite I am currently learning reverse engineering and am studying the flags register. I had in my mind that rflags was just another name for one of the 16 general purpose registers, for example rax or rbx . But it looks like rflags is actually an additional register. So that makes 17 registers in total... how many more could there be? I have spent at least an hour on this and found numerous different answers. The best answer so far is this, which says that there are 40 registers in total. 16 General Purpose Registers 2 Status Registers 6 Code Segment Registers 16 SSE Registers 8 FPU/MMX Registers But if I add that up, I get 48. Could anybody provide an official answer on how many registers an x86_64 CPU has (e.g. an Intel i7). Additionally, I have seen references to 'hardware' and 'architectural' registers. What are those registers and how many are there? register x86-64 share | improve this...
