Second date for Roman teams (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sides

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

'roman teams' is the definition.
'sides' can be an answer for 'teams' (eg football sides). I am not sure about the 'roman' bit.

'second date' is the wordplay.
'second' becomes 's' (common abbreviation).
'date' becomes 'ides' (I've seen this before).
's'+'ides'='SIDES'

'for' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for sides that I've seen before include "Angles" , "Flanks, or opposing teams" , "Faces" , "parties" , "Teams or flat surfaces" .)
