altar

'here' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't see how one could define the other.

'a roman god will receive a bit of tribute' is the wordplay.
'roman god' becomes 'lar' (I've seen this in another clue).
'will receive' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'a bit of' says to take the initial letters.
The first letter of 'tribute' is 't'.
'lar' placed around 't' is 'ltar'.
'a'+'ltar'='ALTAR'
