Are over age (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

era

'age' is the definition.
(both can mean a long time)

'are over' is the wordplay.
'over' says the letters should be written backwards.
'are' back-to-front is 'ERA'.

(Other definitions for era that I've seen before include "Memorable period" , "Important historical period" , "Distinctive period of time" , "day" , "Age of importance" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
