    Love the “circa 180 AD”, very smooth, thanks!

    Thanks--cool theme! The wordplay for 4a was clever. I also really liked 180 AD though i was stumped on it for a while! 😅 Could you please explain the wordplay for 2d and 5a?

      What I was going for was: 2d: R at the end, then the rest is climbing (bottom to top) A G (grand) then OUC anagrammed (couch with the outside letters dropped) 5a: first letter of ate (A) + ARENA anagrammed (arena is sand in Spanish)
    1A
    Insect lost heart circa 180 AD
