First-century Roman poet (4)
I believe the answer is:
ovid
'first-century roman poet' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for ovid that I've seen before include "Writer" , "Void for a Latin poet" , "Roman love poet" , "Latin poet (Ars amatoria, Metamorphoses)" , "Old linesman" .)
