Friends, ..., countrymen, lend me your ears'' (Julius Caesar) (6)

I believe the answer is:

romans

(Other definitions for romans that I've seen before include "Countrymen of Mark Antony" , "Classical Italians" , "Ancient Italians" , "Empire builders" , "'Friends, . . . . . ., countrymen, lend me your ears' (Julius Caesar)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
