Apadmi has created an app for The British Museum for guests to browse before or after a visit to the museum's Life and Death Pompeii and Herculaneum exhibition.
Available on iOS and Android on some devices, it is designed to let visitors explore life and death in the cities of Pompeii and Herculaneum using street maps of the areas, with key objects featured in the exhibition plotted on the maps.
The app also includes insights into what life was like along the themes of urban context, commerce, religion and beliefs, wealth and status, grooming and adornment, relaxation, entertainment, and food and drink.
Each theme has an exclusive video introduction by the exhibition curator, Paul Roberts. Experts in Roman history, including Mary Beard and Andrew Wallace-Hadrill from Cambridge University and Amanda Claridge, Professor of Roman Archaeology at Royal Holloway, share their insights and shed light on what life was like in Roman cities.
Specially recorded excerpts from the first-hand account of Pliny the Younger, who witnessed the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in AD79, provide the narrative in an immersive soundscape that brings the animation to life and illustrates how the two cities and their inhabitants met their end.
There is also a timeline showing the devastating progress of Vesuvius in the 24 hours of the eruption where users can tap information points to find out more about what was happening in the cities of Pompeii and Herculaneum. The app costs £3.99 on iPad and £1.99 on other devices.
