In this work, we will translate into Portuguese a selection of Roman grafitti with an everyday and mockery epigraphic thematic, based on the catalog by Luca Canali and Guglielmo Cavallo (1998) in Graffiti latini: scrivere sui muri a Roma antica. As to an epigraphic typology that serves as portraits of the everyday life and of the mocking and picaresque nuances of the Romans in antiquity, grafitti carry a message directed to a collectivity contemporary or future at the time of its incision or engraving, in a more particular and intimate context. We will present a translation proposal with some commentaries that may clarify aspects from the wall inscriptions.
