Hoi, Luca I love it. As far as I am aware, this is the first Wikidata project outside of WMF. Chapeau !!
I had a look. I saw that you had translations. Would it make sense to have the original text in old Greek and Latin? Would it make sense to show these texts with fonts that represent the way it was written in them days ? Thanks, Gerard

Hi there,
I'm sorry - I really, properly am - for this spamming, but it's also something that might interest the Wikidata developing team.
I and a couple of other users (if selected) are going to hold a presentation at Wikimania 2014 about a project conducted by Wikimedia Italy and the Europeana network of Ancient Greek and Latin Epigraphy (EAGLE). The full description is here:

TL;DR: Wikimedia Italy and EAGLE are using Wikibase extensions for building up a database about Ancient Greek and Latin epigraphy, getting the data from various universities and institutions... and the thing is working! :) Of course, those data are in CC0, and there are also plans to donate those data to Wikimedia community when the Commons-Wikidata integration will be completed.
This should also be the first project outside the WMF perimeter to use Wikibase for such a project (GerardM, please correct me if I'm wrong). If you're interested in it, you might want to take a peek at it. :)
Sorry again for spamming!
Cheers,
