Just found this via ABZU: Vindolanda tablets online, This is a collection of the texts found on wooden tablets at the vindolanda roman fort on hadrian's wall. These have been voted the greatest archaeological treasure in britain, with some justification - they give such rare and amazing details of the people of roman britain. There is all the information you could possibly want - images of the tablets, the latin text, a translation and notes. A treasure trove of information and a great example of providing public access to data.
