Stole round numbers of Romans in the country (7)

Ross

I think it could be either:

bohemia

bolivia

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

'the country' is the definition.
(Bolivia is an example)

'stole round numbers of romans' is the wordplay.
'stole' becomes 'boa' (both can mean a type of scarf).
'round' indicates putting letters inside.
'numbers of romans' becomes 'livi' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'boa' placed around 'livi' is 'BOLIVIA'.

'in' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for bolivia that I've seen before include "Landlocked South American country" , "High S. Amer. country" , "faraway land" , "It borders Peru, Chile" , "South American country where Che Guevara was killed" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
