Historic period (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

era

'historic period' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for era that I've seen before include "Special time" , "Are involved in time span" , "Important time" , "Geological period" , "8" .)

I've seen this clue in the Newsday, The Washington Post, the King Feature Syndicate, The Star Tribune, the Universal, The Wall Street Journal, the LA Times, the USA Today, the Sydney Morning Herald and The New York Times.
