Documents offering proof that that I am owed, and will collect, huge (huge) sums of money... and a gizmo thats makes me irresitable to certain movie starlets. Plus an unlimited expense account at the best bar in town. The same one that is jamed packed with movie starlets.

A tunic color ordered en masse signed by Julius himself.
A drill manual, also signed by caesar... maybe 2 caesars...
engineering manuals for artillery and siege engines.
A complete illustrated list of unit shield emblems and standards.
The complete set of books: "unabridged history of the Roman Legions and their Auxiliary cohorts from the founding of the city to the fall of Rome"
and a light saber...
What would we argue about now?
