I am, however, a huge fan of ontological paradoxes (things like going back in time to father yourself), which is what I'd focus on in such a campaign...

I'd give players a choice of technologically based abilities. After all, it is adventure on ancient earth and the players have access to technology so advanced they would look like gods for the locals. This setting is very interesting if you have a good grasp of history. You could easily make a dynastic campaign in which the players would play several generations of their characters, bent on trying to change history so it would not repeat itself. And you could add things like historical paradox . How would the players react when they undestand that the only way to save humanity is to fake a letter from Mussolini to Hilter, thus creating the second world war ? Very nice and interesting.
