Modern and ancient Greek region including Athens (6)

I believe the answer is:

attica

(Other definitions for attica that I've seen before include "Greek department - New York prison" , "Territory of Athens in ancient Greece" , "Greek district" , "Correctional Facility in New York" , "In ancient times the territory of Athens" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sunday Times and The Times.
