Roman fighter (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

gladiator

(Other definitions for gladiator that I've seen before include "Roman prize-fighter" , "Warrior" , "Professional combatant in ancient Rome" , "one entering the ring" , "Spartacus, for example" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
