Planks, a book by Robert Harris re a 5 year period in Classical Rome

Thanks bazotto, got it.

Thanks for all the helps. Still more to solve. Please help with 4 d, 17 a, 29 a. Stuck on the 6th word of instruction too.

fgsltw 4 down is a 4 letter god between A L(atin) and N(ame), a German musical instrument. 17 ac is simply "to be seen" in Provence ie France and is 1st part of imperial as against metric measurements. 29 what yaks are by birth. Hope that helps

Thanks xij and Cass! I should have guessed my T was wrong. I had ITE(R)ATE for 20d, which fits the clue but not as well as OPERATE....

hi fgsltw - last word is a synonym of "hides", eight letters

Having filled grid, found theme and instruction I'm now totally at a loss 😣

bazotto - you are in company there. Please see the first post on this thread (with many thanks to meursault)

Thanks everyone. It’s the penultimate word of instruction I’m stuck on. Any ideas?

fgsltw - sorry can't count. The sixth word is key. Have you worked out the underlying story yet? If so it is what must be removed to reveal the message.
