Price paid for release of Romans (6)
I believe the answer is:
ransom
'price paid for release' is the definition.
'ransom' can be an answer for 'price' (I've seen this before). I'm not certain of the 'paid for release' bit.
'of romans' is the wordplay.
'of' indicates anagramming the letters (the answer comes from or 'of' the letters).
'romans' with letters rearranged gives 'RANSOM'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for ransom that I've seen before include "Money demand" , "Fee for kidnap release" , "Payment demanded for someone's release" , "Romans (anag)" , "A kidnapper demands it" .)
