Rome turned out to be extra (4)
I believe the answer is:
more
'to be extra' is the definition.
(both can mean additional)
'rome turned' is the wordplay.
'turned' indicates an anagram.
'rome' is an anagram of 'MORE'.
'out' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for more that I've seen before include "Greater quantity or number" , "Extra (for Sir Thomas?)" , "See 9" , "What Oliver wanted" , "author" .)
