Trappings of power in revolutionary Algeria (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

regalia

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'trappings of power' is the definition.
'regalia' can be an answer for 'trappings' (I have seen 'Trappings of royalty' mean 'regalia' so perhaps 'trappings' could also mean 'regalia'). I'm unsure of the 'of power' bit.

'revolutionary algeria' is the wordplay.
'revolutionary' is an anagram indicator.
'algeria' is an anagram of 'REGALIA'.

'in' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for regalia that I've seen before include "Orb and sceptre etc" , "Badges of office" , "Finery" , "Crown, sceptre etc used at a coronation" , "Royal paraphernalia" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
