Pacific Ocean, if you include ancient China.
If you mean connected with the civilizations associated with the "Cradle of Western Civilization" then the Mediterranean Sea.
The Roman Empire surrounded the Mediterranum Mare and touched the coast of the Oceanus Atlanticus (see site below:)

Largest Body of water in the ancient world......hmmmmmmm...I didn't know the sizes large bodies of water changed that much in historical times except the Aral sea which has shrunk significantly. I'm sure the ancient Chinese, Japanese, and Koreans thought the Pacific was the largest while Romans and Greeks thought it was the Mediterranean Sea eventhough both civilzations knew about the Atlantic they thought the world ended soon after passing through the straits of Heraceles(Hercules) or better known today as the straits of Gibralter.

Panthalassa, the super ocean that surrounded the supercontinent Panaea. If you want the largest body of water in ancient history that would be the pacific ocean.
