Most importantly, you should start off by making some guidelines about what should and should not be included. The Latin wikipedia is pretty old and only recently has there been a concerted effort to give it some direction - I think any new wikipedia in a dead language would benefit from having the rules first.
Not dead languages, but languages with a small speaking community. While for some languages there are hundreds of thousands of articles; for languages with much smaller communities it isn't realist to hope to achieve such amount in a near future, so giving some focus could help to have some completness on that focussed area.
For example, you would (I assume) want to have articles about Anglo-Saxon related topics, but will people also want to write about unrelated subjects? Will the stereotypical Pokemon article be allowed?
Of course it must be allowed; if not, then it shouldn't be a wikipedia but a different project (like wikibook). Not focused doesn't mean forbidden.
