This app brings all 116,000 definitions of the Liddell-Scott-Jones Greek-English Lexicon to your iOS device, with blazing speed, smart searching algorithms, and a unique "reverse search" system that turns the LSJ into an English-Greek dictionary.
Features:
- Full offline dictionary reading, presenting auto-generated short definitions of every word backed up by the full LSJ entry.
- A powerful search mechanism lets you type in English, Greek or Beta Code to find words. The English search system uses heuristics to return highly accurate search results, even when accent and breathing vary.
- A unique "reverse search" system lets you query the English definition of each word. For example, searching for "rock" returns "πέτρα". This effectively turns the LSJ into an elementary English to Greek lexicon, backed up by all the copious referencing and detailed usages that the LSJ offers.
- Includes a guide to getting started with Beta Code, which allows you to search for precise orthography.
- Full support for iPad and iPhone - buy the app once and use it anywhere.
- Did we mention that it was really, really fast? At last you can search the entire LSJ in a fraction of a second!

The files presented here for download have been - except where otherwise clearly indicated - created by me. They represent no great amount of creativity but quite a bit of hard work transcribing the texts. The most important ones are Walter Ripman's Classified Vocabulary and Carl Meissner's Latin Phrase Book, two absolutely essential books for learning Latin vocabulary and idioms respectively. These are really must-haves and completely free, so have a look.
This video presents a digital model of the marble portrait of Caligula in the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts (Richmond, VA, USA). The polychromy of the statue (not visible to the naked eye) has been restored on the basis of surviving pigments on the bust in Copenhagen and the statue in Richmond.
This video presents views of a 3D digital model of the Greek philosopher Epicurus (341-270 BCE). The lost original statue was erected in Athens. We have many Roman copies of the head and also several headless torsos. This model was based on scans of: (1) a bust from Herculaneum in the National Archaeological Museum of Naples; and (2) the torso in the National Archaeological Museum of Florence.
This video presents a fly-through of the latest version of Rome Reborn (2.2). The new version incorporates some new content (including the Pantheon) and for the first time includes animations.
Rome Reborn is an international initiative to create a 3D digital model of the ancient city as it might have appeared in A.D. 320. For more about the project, please see: romereborn.virginia.edu.
"In this video, Prof. Bernard Frischer presents a virtual tour of the northern side of the Roman Forum, including the Curia Iulia (Senate House), Basilica Aemilia, and the Temple of Antoninus and Faustina. Through use of virtual set technology, Frischer appears to be transported back in time to the ancient city."
