Roman-style mansion (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

manor

'mansion' is the definition.
(manor is a kind of mansion)

'roman-style' is the wordplay.
'style' indicates anagramming the letters (style can mean to shape or design).
'roman' anagrammed gives 'MANOR'.

(Other definitions for manor that I've seen before include "house on estate" , "Large country house for Roman" , "Country seat" , "Mansion of a wealthy person" , "local copper's area" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
