Two men from another era? (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

victorian

'from another era?' is the definition.
(from the Victorian era)

'two men' is the wordplay.
'two men' can mean two substitutions for 'man'.
'man' becomes 'victor' ().
'man' becomes 'ian' (man's name).
'victor'+'ian'='VICTORIAN'

(Other definitions for victorian that I've seen before include "in part of Australia" , "from Ballarat, perhaps" , "from somewhere in Oz" , "Morally strict" , "Of the age of a long-lived British queen" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
