Latin Apps Part 1: SPQR

SPQR was the first Latin app that I found that was very useful both as a Latin student and Latin teacher.  It can also be found on the wonderfully named website, romansgohome.com. My students like the searchable Latin dictionary, Lewis and Short.  There are also Latin texts, including Catullus, Caesar, and the complete works of Vergil in Latin and English, which my AP students find especially useful. Additionally, there is the huge history The Rise and Fall of the Roman Empire by Gibbon, historical articles about ancient Rome, pictures of Roman archaeology, Latin quotes, a grammar test, a Roman numeral converter, and, my favorite, an old Comic Latin Grammar with very interesting (old-fashioned) comics and rhymes to learn Latin. This is a great resource for students to access easily on their phones.
