Project Gutenberg contains numerous books about and sources from the classical era. It offers translations from and a few original latin and greek texts. link to Project Gutenberg (http://www.gutenberg.org/wiki/Main_Page)

Another source for translated sources (both latin and other languages) is fordham.edu (http://www.fordham.edu/halsall/ancient/asbook.html).

Despite giving acces to tons of translated latin sources, the net doesn't seem to offer a wide variety of original latin sources. The current situation for greek sources (or any other language) seems to be even worse. At the sites mentioned, you're unlikely to find non-famous authors, whereas the quality of the translations and the critical apparatus may differ heavily from text to text.

Here is one, http://classics.mit.edu/, I also use the Gutenberg Project.

Then there is my own roleplaying campaign just kicked off 6 hours ago, http://turbator.blogspot.com/, it has many useful links and more will be added. As will the chapters of the campaign and writeups.
