Consider portability & ease of preparation.
The spices listed are common spices used in Roman meals, but are also just what I like. Change for flavor & what’s locally available.
If you have access to refridgeration, give fish sauce a try. I can only find Thai import, but it was widely popular among not only the Greeks & Romans but Arabs too.
