Looted overthrown city (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

toledo

'city' is the definition.
(Toledo is a Spanish city)

'looted overthrown' is the wordplay.
'overthrown' indicates an anagram.
'looted' is an anagram of 'TOLEDO'.

(Other definitions for toledo that I've seen before include "historic Spanish city" , "Spanish city noted for swords" , "Span. sword-making city" , "Looted (anag) - Spanish city" , "Blade" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
