Texts:
The single most important resource for
the study of Roman history on the web is Bill Thayer's Lacus Curtius. Of special
interest to Roman Life students will be his on-line edition of
Roman articles Smith's
Dictionary
of
Greek
and
Roman Antiquities-- an encyclopedic work with heaps of information
on how the Romans lived their lives.
Another great resource at Lacus Curtius: a slew of articles from Platner and Ashby's Topological Dictionary of Ancient Rome.
More adventures in the public domain:
Yet another on-line edition of Smith's Antiquities and of Smith's Greek & Roman Bio, Myth & Geog is at the Perseus Project. It can be tricky to find stuff in this edition, as the entries are keyed by Latin words, and not always the ones you'd expect. Still, you might get a lucky (and useful) hit here.

If you're on campus (or sign in via the remote access server), there are some good resources available through OhioLink. For instance, the Classics section of Oxford Reference Online:

Also useful
in the Internet Ancient History Sourcebook at Fordham University
Another great source, with scads of images that can be searched by keyword, is VRoma:
Barbara McManus has a number of useful
pages at VRoma, including one on the clothing of Roman men
and another on the clothing of Roman women.
Numerous images of Greek and Roman
archaeological sites can be found at Leo Curran's site, Maecenas:
The Ancient Library has a
number of useful reference works (some of which are on the assigned
reading list):
Smith’s Dictionary of Greek and
Roman Biography and Mythology:
Smith’s Dictionary of Greek and Roman Antiquities:
Seyffert’s Dictionary of Classical Antiquities:
