English to Portuguese: Pagan and Christian Rome by Rodolfo Lanciani (Project Gutenberg) General field: Art/Literary Detailed field: History
Source text - English Ancient guide-books of Rome, published in the middle of the fourth century, mention four hundred and twenty-four temples, three hundred and four shrines, eighty statues of gods, of precious metal, sixty-four of ivory, and three thousand seven hundred and eighty-five miscellaneous bronze statues. The number of marble statues is not given. It has been said, however, that Rome had two populations of equal size, one alive, and one of marble.
I have had the opportunity of witnessing or conducting the discovery of several temples, altars, shrines, and bronze statues. The number of marble statues and busts discovered in the last twenty-five years, either in Rome or the Campagna, may be stated at one thousand.
Before beginning the description of these beautiful monuments, I must allude to some details concerning the management and organization of ancient places of worship, upon which recent discoveries have thrown a considerable, and in some cases, unexpected light.
Roman temples, like the churches of the present day, were used not only as places of worship, but as galleries of pictures, museums of statuary, and "cabinets" of precious objects. In chapter v. of "Ancient Rome," I have given the catalogue of the works of art displayed in the temple of Apollo on the Palatine. The list includes: The Apollo and Artemis driving a quadriga, by Lysias; fifty statues of the Danaids; fifty of the sons of Egypt; the Herakles of Lysippos; Augustus with the attributes of Apollo (a bronze statue fifty feet high); the pediment of the temple, by Bupalos and Anthermos; statues of Apollo, by Skopas; Leto, by Kephisodotos, son of Praxiteles; Artemis, by Timotheos; and the nine Muses; also a chandelier, formerly dedicated by Alexander the Great at Kyme; medallions of eminent men; a collection of gold plate; another of gems and intaglios; ivory carvings; specimens of palæography; and two libraries.
Translation - Portuguese Guias antigos de Roma, publicados em meados do século IV, mencionam 424 templos, 304 santuários, 80 estátuas de deuses e deusas feitas de metais preciosos, outras 64 de marfim, e 3785 estátuas de bronze de temas variados. O número de estátuas de mármore não é revelado. Já foi dito, entretanto, que Roma tinha duas populações de tamanhos iguais: uma de carne e osso, e outra de mármore.
Tive a oportunidade de presenciar e de conduzir a descoberta de vários templos, altares, santuários e estátuas de bronze. O número de estátuas e bustos de mármore descobertos nos últimos 25 anos, seja em Roma ou em Campagna, pode ser estimado em 1000 peças.
Antes de dar início à descrição desses belíssimos monumentos, preciso mencionar o gerenciamento e a organização dos antigos locais de adoração – cujas descobertas recentes resultaram em revelações consideráveis e, em alguns casos, surpreendentes.
Os templos romanos, assim como as igrejas dos dias atuais, eram usados não somente como locais de adoração, mas também como galerias de arte contendo imagens, coleções de esculturas e “armários” repletos de objetos preciosos. No capítulo V de “Roma Antiga”, apresentei o catálogo de obras exibidas no templo de Apolo do Monte Palatino. A lista inclui: Apolo e Ártemis conduzindo uma quadriga, por Lísias; 50 estátuas das Danaides; 50 dos filhos do Egito; o Hércules de Lísipo; Augusto como Apolo (uma estátua de bronze de 15 metros de altura); o frontão do templo, por Búpalo e Atênis; estátuas de Apolo, por Escopas; Leto, por Cefisódoto, filho de Praxíteles; Ártemis, por Timóteo; e também as Nove Musas. Havia ainda um lustre, antes consagrado por Alexandre, o Grande em Cime; medalhões de homens ilustres; coleções de placas de ouro, pedras preciosas e gemas esculpidas; entalhes em marfim; amostras de paleografia; e duas bibliotecas.

Experience
Years of experience: 13. Registered at ProZ.com: Aug 2011. Became a member: Jun 2012.
I was born and raised in Brazil, where I got a BA in Industrial Design and worked as a Graphic Designer before moving to Canada in 2010. Upon my arrival I swiftly secured a role as a localization QA tester in the gaming industry, which made me discover a passion for linguistics and paved the way for my career as a translator.
I now have over 12 years of experience as an in-house and freelance translator, and I hold a Postgraduate Diploma in Translation into Portuguese from the University of Toronto. I'm also committed to continual growth through courses and workshops.
I specialize in game, software and website localization, but over the years I've had the chance to hone my skills in LQA, transcription, transcreation, MTPE and translation in a wide range of topics, including (but not limited to) content for the tourism, fashion and fine art industries.
I am a full-time freelancer and I pride myself on being highly responsive and taking my deadlines very seriously. I'm familiar with multiple CAT tools and own a memoQ license.
