Near iconic manoeuvring of ancient politician (10)

I believe the answer is:

ciceronian

'of ancient politician' is the definition.
(related to Cicero)

'near iconic manoeuvring' is the wordplay.
'manoeuvring' indicates an anagram.
'near'+'iconic'='neariconic'
'neariconic' anagrammed gives 'CICERONIAN'.
