Crossword Genius

By way of a Roman road (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

via

This clue is a triple definition!

'by' is the first definition.
(travelling by or via a place)

'way' is the second definition.
(I've seen this in other clues)

'of' acts as a link.

'a roman road' is the third definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

(Other definitions for via that I've seen before include "By way of - in Latin" , "Roman road" , "A Roman way" , "By means of" , "Going through" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard, The Irish News and The Irish Independent.
