Kind of sheep you could find in Rome (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

merino

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'kind of sheep' is the definition.

'find in rome' is the wordplay.
'find' indicates anagramming the letters.
'in'+'rome'='inrome'
'inrome' anagrammed gives 'MERINO'.

'you could' acts as a link.
This may not be correct. Some or all of it may belong to another bit of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for merino that I've seen before include "Sheep bred for its long, fine wool" , "The sheep provides fine wool" , "Fine soft woolen yarn" , "Sheep with fine soft wool" , "Sheep from Spain with a heavy quality fleece" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
