My hot take here is that it would be difficult to impossible to transplant a single distinct technology into a point in history. Most technologies are products of huge amounts of peripheral knowledge and long-developed modes of economic production.
What’s the simplest non-gun technology you could give the Romans that would still totally reshape the course of global history? I feel like telegraph would do it probably. Maybe steam trains.

Boeing can't even make airplanes anymore, expecting them to make spaceplanes is just mean.
A helium leak pushed back a planned launch to May 25. Boeing's program that would shuttle astronauts to and from the International Space Station has been plagued with problems.

Basically, let spaceplanes just fly like planes in atmosphere, with weak thrusters, but wings allow to fly fast and by pointing their nose. Meanwhile, "brick" spaceships awkwardly and slowly flounder around, having to rely on thrusters that are less effective in atmosphere to fight gravity and drag.

Also, if spaceplanes count, have a shuttle or two:
