From humble beginnings, many Tarninos managed to position themselves in those societies. They grew to be much more sophisticated and wealthy, becoming known as to Tarna. The residents who remained in the town maintained a modest but plentiful economy, which was supported by four areas: Tillage, with special importance of legumes and harvest, on which the livestock depended. Livestock, mainly cattle, but also horses, vital for transport, as well as the raising of farm animals such as pigs, chickens, and so on.
