Crossword Genius

Roman symbol seen in Mezangelle regularly (5)

I believe the answer is:

eagle

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

'roman symbol' is the definition.
'eagle' can be an answer for 'symbol' (thesaurus). I am not certain of the 'roman' bit.

'mezangelle regularly' is the wordplay.
'regularly' means one should take alternating letters (regularly take one letter, leave next etc.).
The alternating letters of 'mezangelle' are 'EAGLE'.

'seen in' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for eagle that I've seen before include "Bald, golden, bird" , "ten-dollar coin" , "Large bird of prey" , "Coin made of gold" , "Bird of prey; former children's comic" .)
