Mobile continentals getting work in Roman capital (14)
I believe the answer is:
constantinople
'roman capital' is the definition.
(capital of the Roman Empire)
'mobile continentals getting work' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'work' could be 'op' (abbreviation for opus) and 'op' is found in the answer.
an anagram of 'continentals' is 'constantinle' which is located in the remaining letters.
This accounts for all the letters.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
'in' is the link.
(Other definitions for constantinople that I've seen before include "Istanbul formerly" , "Old city" , "capital no longer used" , "Old name of Istanbul" , "seat for emperor" .)
