🤓

Roman to decorate his home (7)

[Some I need help with
jono @4/6 and buddy - how does "stance" fit in? Is it a golf reference?
aristo @29/31 - how does "spot" give AD?
paulH @33 - I've no idea!]

Prior to Common Era, this could fix a place to live (7)

AD - Anno Domini - is being replaced by CE - Common Era

Chris, yes, I was using address/stance in a golfing sense. Chambers has…

address /ə-dresˈ/
transitive verb
11. To take one's stance in preparation for striking (a golf ball)

…and also

noun
1. Act or mode of addressing

chrise @34

ad - Latin for 'to'
dress - decorate, e.g. a Christmas tree, I hope.

home = address?

Thanks both. Now for aristo's "spot"!

spot/ad/commercial. might be US usage?

It’s used for print ads too, as in take out a spot in a newspaper.
