Roman Ruins HD, a new app developed by Historvius, is giving iPad users the chance to virtually explore over 350 Roman landmarks. Through your tablet you can take a virtual hike up the Palatine Hill, pop in to Pompeii and march into the heart of Hadrian’s Wall.
Historvius has made use of 1500 high-quality photographs, Google Street view and other resources to create a massive guide to Roman sites ranging from Armenia to the Antonine Wall in Scotland (and even the Getty Villa in Los Angeles). Users can explore by country, category, gallery or via the interactive map. Collections include guides to the very best surviving Roman amphitheatres, temples, forts, aqueducts, theatres, baths, underground sites, hidden gems and many more. The app contains guides to the best-preserved Roman ruins, editor’s choices and a top ten list. It’s even possible to explore the life of Julius Caesar, following in the very footsteps of this famous Roman leader.
“This app brings a revolution to the way in which we explore our world,” said Mike Lewis, Historvius CEO. “By pioneering a state-of-the-art interactive experience it allows us to travel virtually through a multitude of stunning Roman wonders, making it simple and practical to discover these fascinating ancient places. It sets a precedent that highlights how effectively technology is changing the very concept of travel and discovery as we know it.”
