Roman commander having a vice we hear? (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

agrippa

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'roman' is the definition.
(I have seen 'Powerful Roman' mean 'agrippa' so perhaps 'roman' could also mean 'agrippa')

I don't understand how the remainder of the clue works.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for agrippa that I've seen before include "Acts reported of this king" , "one of the Herods" , "Marcus --, Roman general, statesman and architect" , "General who beat Mark Antony at Actium" , "Powerful Roman" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
