Viewing Ancient Italian sites

After posting about the ParisAppTours back here I was asked if there might be anything similar or by the same company about Ancient Italian locations such as Pompei. I was able to find a couple of websites and an app that I shared with the teacher, but I thought I'd also share them with everyone on here as these fall under a couple of different subjects.
Firstly there's this app called Ancient Sites in Italy which is available on the App store on your iPads. On the app you can scroll through the different sites and view images of each.
The next option is done by simply searching on Google Maps for Pompei, Italy ruins or by clicking here This will allow you to virtually visit the streets of ancient pompeii (in ruins) and 'walk' through them by clicking on the arrows on your screen. You can do the same with the Colosseum by clicking here
The third is another Google tool - it gives a close up 360 degree view of a few different Italian sites including the Colosseum, the baths of Caracalla,  the Palazzo Reale de Caserta and more.
