Price in old days to come from Acropolis Hill in Greece? (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

shilling

'price in old days' is the definition.
(historical type of coin)

'come from acropolis hill in greece?' is the wordplay.
'come from' indicates a hidden word (I've seen 'coming from' mean this).
'SHILLING' is hidden within 'acropolis hill in greece'.

'to' is the link.

(Other definitions for shilling that I've seen before include "Pre-decimalisation coin" , "Bob" , "Old unit of imperial money, worth 12 pence" , "soldier once took it from the King" , "Until 1971, ready here" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
