Schöne Bilder von wichtigen Münzen, der Text dazu scheint aber oberflächlich zu sein.
Im US Forvm, Books and References, NEW BOOK ANNOUNCEMENTS, hat man eine Seite der englischen Übersetzung von Leonis Buch über Traianus gezeigt. Mein Kommentar:
There is nothing on that page that would make me want the book.
Just an architectural history of the Circus, which I can find in any topographical dictionary of Rome.
Very little about Trajan's coin type itself. No mention of the starting gates on the right, from which chariots are sometimes shown emerging, and that at the left we see Titus' arch which is mentioned in the text. No mention of the temple topped by facing head of Sol to l. of the obelisk or of the other monuments on the spina apart from the obelisk and the turning posts.
No mention of Trajan's surviving inscription recording his reconstruction of the Circus and addition of seating for 5000 spectators in 103 AD. No mention of Woytek's recent dating of Trajan's Circus sestertii to that same year, 103, nor his discovery of a die link between the Circus type and the type showing Trajan addressing a crowd in the Circus, proving that the Speech in Circus type was contemporaneous with the architectural type, both of which evidently commemorated Trajan's reopening of the Circus in 103.

Da war wohl bei mir „der Wunsch Vater des Rechenfehlers“.
