The Romans offered one to people with bread (6)
I believe the answer is:
circus
'bread' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't understand how one could define the other.
I don't understand the remainder of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for circus that I've seen before include "Open-air stadium of antiquity" , "One's named Oxford" , "Big top entertainment" , "Roundabout for the animal acts" , "Group of travelling performers" .)
