The Romans' idol (4)
I believe the answer is:
hero
'idol' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'the romans'' is the wordplay.
'HERO' is hidden in amongst the letters.
But, I am uncertain how the hidden word is indicated.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for hero that I've seen before include "Chief male character in story or film - probably very brave" , "Very brave man" , "Man admired for courage and nobility" , "Leading male role" , "Conqueror" .)
