Anne VI lost European capital (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

vienna

'european capital' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'anne vi lost' is the wordplay.
'lost' indicates an anagram.
'anne'+'vi'='annevi'
'annevi' anagrammed gives 'VIENNA'.

(Other definitions for vienna that I've seen before include "Capital city of Austria" , "Capital on the Danube Canal" , "European city for New Year's Day concert" , "Adult home of Beethoven, Brahms, Mozart and Schubert" , "On the Danube, it was home to many great composers" .)

I've seen this clue in the Irish Times.
