Cotswold Archaeology is delighted to announce that the Roman Cirencester App launched in April has won the prestigious Gold Digital Impact Award 2013 for the Best use of Digital in the Public Sector.
We were pleased to support the Corinium Museum’s impressive Roman Cirencester app for iPhone, iPad, Android phones and tablets. The app brings the sites and objects of Roman Cirencester together in a way that has never been possible before.
The app includes an enhanced Museum Tour, Town Tour and a Learning Zone, perfect for a visitor to Cirencester, locals wanting to find out more about their town, or anyone interested in Roman history. The Town Tour uses GPS navigation to pin point your location within the town as it is now and as it was laid out by the Romans. The main Roman sites are represented including the amphitheatre and forum. Supported by artists’ impressions of what the buildings looked like, visitors can hear Cotswold Archaeology’s Chief Executive Neil Holbrook talk about previous excavations and what it was like to live in the Roman town. You can also follow a walking tour around the town to visit the different sites.
The app is available to purchase in the apple app store and google play store for just £2.50. All money made on downloads will be put back in to developing the Museum’s digital interpretation.
