The Roman Imperial Coinage Trajan Volumes
SC:
You are absolutely right.
I have not tried it on the Woytek book, but I am sure its ability with German is quite good. I have used it for Russian recently and the results are great.
I tried it on some Japanese and Chinese books on cash coins several months ago and the results were mixed - not good overall. More complicated writing systems plus I don't think their algorithms had much exposure to numismatic material yet...

Trajanus:
Yes, I just got that one book called Le Monete di Roma: Augusto, Il Principato book series by Daniele Leoni when I was in Rome and it's all in Italia and the translate app worked wonders for me. I would recommend look into these book series as they are quite cool to read with full color images of the coins as well. It explains a lot more of the history behind the coins rather than cataloging them. I'll link a spot to the books below if you are interested. Thank You!

Hi friends!
I hope someone has news from Bernhard Woytek about the English version of his book?

Hey, does anybody have own this book and if so where did you buy and for how much? I am trying to specialize in studying as well as collecting coinage of Trajan and would love to have this book on hand or research purposes. Thank you.

It is the best, and for me, the primary, reference for Trajan's imperial coinage.

It's hard to say whether RIC II.2 will ever be released. I think we'll get the MIR version of Nerva in German sooner:
