The History of Rome podcast. A great series of over 100 episodes and counting that starts from the mythological founding of Rome to, currently, the reign of Severus, and it will be continuing. This is a great, informative podcast which documents every period of Roman history we will be dealing with, and is well worth a listen.

Perseus is a growing online database of primary texts and sources related to the Classical age. Texts can be found both in the original languages (Greek or Latin, etc) as well as in English translation. The site is free, and can be very useful.
