What with the tainted (by our standards) food, lack of general hygiene, and the fact that our immune systems are not adapted to all the nasty bugs that were going round in those days... I doubt you'd really enjoy that visit.
Maybe you could visit it in one of those biohazard suits. But then you'd freak out the natives so that would not be ideal either.
