This uses the usual notation:
*is anagram,<is reversal,(ddef)is double definition,()is insertion,_XYZ_is hidden word,X_/_Xis first/last letter.
Additionally, there are a few less standard types of wordplay: a triple definition (in 17-Down, marked by(3def)), a letter swap (in 5-Across, "ROMA" swaps the two final letters to become "ROAM"), and a letter change (in 14-Across).
