vestigium (PROP. and figuratively; track, footstep; mark of something formerly present, or actually present, but not plainly discernible): indicium (mark, token, sign). (The words are found in this connection and order.) indicia et vestigia (plur.): significatio (symptom, alicujus rei; e.g., nulla timoris significatio). To leave a trace, vestigium facere: there were no traces, nulla exstabant vestigia (Liv.): Not a trace is to be seen! nec nota nec vestigium exstat or apparet! (proverbially; Varr., ap. Non.).
