In this paper, we present a study on the historiography of the translations produced or published in Brazil, from the nineteenth century until today, of Plautus plays (c. 254-184 BC). This text intends to investigate the translation trajectory of Plautus comedies in Brazil, elucidating, although briefly, the context of translations and some of their processes and projects, contributing to a history of the translation of Latin literature in Brazil. We intend to systematize here a history only of the Plautine translations produced and published in Brazil, highlighting the main names that acted in this production. For this, we divided this article into three diachronic sections, each related to a century (19th, 20th and 21st), reflecting three distinct moments of translation production in Brazil. This study, although also having a somewhat quantitative character, as the works of Fernandes (2017), Duarte (2016) and Tuffani (2006), intends to go a little further, proposing some reflections on the establishment of a translation tradition in Brazil and doing an analysis of some discussions that the Plautus translators themselves undertake.
