"Here we are as in olden days."

"Here we are as in olden days."

'as in' is an idiom or is there an omission of something? Thank you so much as usual and have a good day.

It is not an idiom and there is nothing 'omitted', though it can be cast another way: Here we are as we were olden days . Compare: Here we are as on last Tuesday. Here we are as during the war.
