I mean you have to read the big ones - Odyssey, Iliad, Aeneid. Maybe read some poetry too, Romans were very keen on that 
I'm a fan of the plays, so maybe Antigone, stuff by Aeschylus and Euripides?
You could read some essays/online articles on those classics and put them in your personal statement too. Do the courses you're applying for include Ancient History? If so, get your hands on some Plutarch, that's probably most accessible.
