A fun thought experiment but I think many are over thinking it. Penicillin alone should be enough to make you the richest person in rome with much influence. From there you’ll have quite a few options that don’t bear premature optimization for.
unless Rome itself is insecure during the time I’m there I don’t care. Seeking populist support doesn’t seem useful until I have skin in the game politically.

How hard is it to mass produce penicillin?

Keeping them healthy gives you a larger potential power base.

Very hard.
