Ancient Asian country’s means of communication? (5)
I believe the answer is:
media
I believe this clue is a double definition.
'ancient asian country's' is the first definition.
(historical country)
'means of communication?' is the second definition.
(mass media)
(Other definitions for media that I've seen before include "oils as examples" , "The 14, for example" , "News outlets" , "Mass communication organs" , "Newspapers, TV, radio etc" .)
