Nevertheless, indirect evidence suggests that herds were mov- ing between seasonal grazing areas even during the time of the Roman conquest. Later on, several legal documents are better explained invok- ing the interest of cities and individuals in controlling alternative pas- ture lands, and some migratory patterns seem to conform nicely with traditional transhumance's areas and with the routes linking them.
