Probably a lot of Roman-influenced writings about Mediterranean trade routes, nautical navigation, pagan history, and war.
Some of the more valuable stuff probably included the writings of famous Greek philosophers and storytellers. I like to think one of the original versions of The Iliad was housed there, seeing as how the story was so popular back then and would have been a treasured artifact.
