Travel around capital, reportedly (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

roam

'travel around' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'capital reportedly' is the wordplay.
'capital' becomes 'Rome' (capital of Italy).
'reportedly' shows a homophone (sound like).
'rome' sounds like 'ROAM'.

(Other definitions for roam that I've seen before include "Wander freely" , "'Wander, ramble (4)'" , "Prowl" , "Wander widely" , "Meander" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
