REVIEWS
This morning I received word that a new travel app entitled “Time Travel Rome” was now available for Apple and Android smartphones. I downloaded it and was amazed by the depth of information included in it. It not only includes location information including GPS coordinates to aid in locating each site but offers the related Wikipedia information in either English or French, a proprietary article pointing out site features like museums or visitor centers nearby, and even passages from the ancient texts where the site is mentioned.
