Ailsa, run at new Roman festival? (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

saturnalia

'roman festival?' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'ailsa run at new' is the wordplay.
'new' indicates anagramming the letters.
'ailsa'+'run'+'at'='ailsarunat'
'ailsarunat' anagrammed gives 'SATURNALIA'.

(Other definitions for saturnalia that I've seen before include "orgy" , "Ancient Roman December festival" , "Wild Roman festival" , "Old festival" , "wild party" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
