Old Roman poet in Dublin suburb? (5)
I believe the answer is:
lucan
'old roman poet' is the definition.
'lucan' can be an answer for 'poet' (I have seen 'Roman poet' mean 'lucan' so perhaps 'poet' could also mean 'lucan'). I am unsure of the 'old roman' bit.
I cannot understand how the remainder of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for lucan that I've seen before include "Roman poet - vanishing lord" , "Notorious fugitive peer" , "Lord who famously went missing" , "Roman poet; a missing Lord" , "found in one of the gospels?" .)
