Hypothetical Scenarios: If I was sent back to Rome, 100 AD, how could I convince them that I was their god and take my rightful place as Emperor?

Just like in any ancient culture, the visiting god-like candidate would have to prove he was immortal. You can't do that because as soon as you arrive you succumb to upper GI digestive problems as your 21st century body is not prepared for the unprocessed food of the 2nd century AD. Also your immune system is overwhelmed by the microorganisms and aerial pathogens the ancient Romans already have an immunity to.

Your toys would be meaningless as they were only moderately impressed by Archimedes toys, which were impressive even today. They killed him. Any wizard can produce toys but immortality is the key! Survive a direct sword blow to the neck! Take 3 arrows to the chest and laugh as you pull them out. They would think you were sent by one of their pagan gods.

But to really blow their minds bring along a Gort robot the way Klaatu did in the movie The Day the Earth Stood Still. They would say: "He has brought Helios with him! The Greek Colossus of Rhodes! He surely is a god!"
