Angry figures in Ancient Rome (5)
I believe the answer is:
livid
'angry' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
I can't explain the rest of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for livid that I've seen before include "Discoloured by bruising" , "Furiously angry - leaden coloured?" , "Numbers of Romans" , "Furiously angry, the colour of lead" , "Black and blue" .)
