Taking back modern thingies will only have a short impact - they wouldn't be able to maintain them or make spare parts.

A better idea would be to go back an persuade Pontius Pilatius NOT to cruzify jesus.

What about going back and convincing Governer pilatus to give Jesus a wedgie instead of crucifying him? I’m sure that would screw Christian theology beyond recognition.

I would do something so that the Norwegians would of colonized Newfoundland, instead of being kicked out by the natives.

Machine guns to the Koreans to fend off those pesky Japanese, Chinese, Americans, Russians... say, in the 1500s or so.

Nope, we lost it to sweden in 1814 but they got free in 1905 and naturally chose a danish prince as their king.

Bad placement - no gurantee they will find it. Tut ank amons sarkophague would be a better place (and will give a much better reaction ).

"Stopping the bubonic plague "

I was aware of the paradox mentioned earlier. However I ignored it as it created a paradox that made the thread impossible, but if I didn't make the thread nobody could mention the paradox...

You see my problem.

I think Caligula would have benefitted from having a few ICBMs to lob around at unruly senators, horses, butterflies that looked at him in a funny manner, and so on.

I bet he could also make good use of electric laundry irons.

Yes, I must go back in time and teach Emperor Caligula to iron his own linens. And his own kittens. And his own senators. And his own slavelings. It is the sane thing to do.

Why not give Nero some napalm - I guess that he could find some use for it.

Just for fun.

For example you could give a rap CD plus player to Bach just to see his face when he hears it. Or give an AK47 to one of the gladiators in the collosseum just to see he the crowd's reacting. Lots of other possibilities....
