This app lets you go back in time, to Pompeii, re-visualized as it was before the eruption of Vesuvius in 79 AD. There are 16 scenes, including the Forum Baths and the Temple of Apollo that can be viewed from different points in history, with or without people. We especially liked the ability to mix and match the views from each time, on the same screen. A dialog box accompanies each scene, with written information about what happened in each place. This would be an excellent travel companion to have if you were visiting the ruins.
