Caught up with papers showing Roman god (5)
I believe the answer is:
cupid
'roman god' is the definition.
(Cupid is an example)
'caught up with papers' is the wordplay.
'caught' becomes 'c' (cricket abbreviation).
'with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'papers' becomes 'ID' (identification papers).
'c'+'up'+'id'='CUPID'
'showing' is the link.
(Other definitions for cupid that I've seen before include "godlike figure" , "Cherubic symbol for love" , "heathen god" , "Match-making archer" , "Tiny archer as Roman god of love" .)
