German to English translations [PRO]
Religion / Ancient Rome | | German term or phrase: Schmuckaltar | "Schmuckaltäre fanden sich vielfach in den parkartigen Gartenarealen (horti)."
"Ornamental altars were frequently found in the park-like garden areas (horti)."?
The question is: Is "ornamental altars" sufficient? Or is there something more particular that I'm missing?
Full context: This is for an encyclopedia entry about decorative art in ancient Rome. |
