More ancient (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

older

'more ancient' is the definition.
('old' can be similar in meaning to 'ancient')

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for older that I've seen before include "Of greater age (O, not E)" , "as we all will be tomorrow" , "Earlier" , "More aged" , "Former" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times, The Star Tribune, the Ink Well xwords and The Times.
