Spices, all knowledge I can carry as microfiche tapes, magnifying glass, a domesticated strain of penicillin, and seeds of modern crops.
I will be able to talk to at least some of their merchants for, ahem, reasons. From then on I have at least some chance of survival.
A ton of medicine and tampons, a Latin dictionary, my thermos bottle, some valuables to sell, etc.
The question that must be answered first is: Do I stay where I am or do I come out somewhere else?
Right, I'm in Australia, I'd be boned
I mean, still people there, and the tech and stuff would be helpful even if any translation materials wouldn't be relevant anymore

Without reading other answers, that certainly makes more sense than mine, I would take a cake. Like the best cake i ever ate in my life and eat it all immediately after being sent in Roman era. Because if I'm getting fucked at least let's enjoy a last meal and nothing else i could take would matter. Guns, medicines,..? It would all run out anyway and it wouldn't make me king of something.
Edit: and also a bottle of good wine because Roman win tasted like vinegar.
This guy really loves cake
Maps. Lots of laminated maps of North Africa and the Middle East. Every time I run low on silver pennies to pay my palm frond air conditioner, I sell one more map.

Tablets with a shitload of how to build books on it, several small solar chargers and USB cables.
Sent back in time, but at the same place as I am now?
How large is the time travel device, does it fit into a backpack?

Enough gold valuables to cover my funeral expenses since our bodies aren't capable of handling the bacteria in the water and food back then and we'd be dead in a week.

1 gun and as much ammo as I can carry. I'm gonna need to get some people to work for me if I want to survive.

Analine purple will improve the colors of European flags (rather than sea-snail purple which is more expensive than gold.)
