Or maybe 44BC to safe Caesar and see how good or bad he would perform on his Persian expedition.

I think right here in the north of England in around 117 / 119 AD just to find out what did happen to the ninth Legion.

Save your trip for another date Brian. Everyone knows that the 9th were wiped out by the "seal people" Later to appear in eastern Europe in the late 2nd cent. Maybe they did time travel.

I got kicked out of scouts because I was socially maladjusted. So no difference there. I'm just amazed at how dumb people are getting as technology is getting more advanced (this comment is NOT directed at anyone specifically.)

No satellites orbiting the earth in Roman times so a compass and map would be best.

Put a granite market in the ground that says "here was the site of x" and it'll last a very long time.

I'd like to help a few people out. Like, going back to a certain day in 408 and telling Stilicho, "Look! Take a break. Don't go to church." :whistle:
Or ask Caesar, "Hey, Big Guy. Ever thought of wearing Kevlar?" :dizzy:

I'd like to go to one of Caesar's battles and find out once and for all the mechanics of how he relieved the troops in the front line.

In Carthage, around the Diadochi period, just because there was a broad variety of heterogeneous cultures in the known world at that time, and because I could probably catch a ride around the Mediterranean in one of those Punic ships. There's also the weather and natural beauty of Tunisia.
Seeing the Pax Romana would be pretty neat too, but it seems like everything would be a bit too uniform by that point.
