GovermentThe Aztec Empire was an example of
an empire that ruled by indirect means.
Like most European empires, it was
honestly very diverse, but unlike most
European empires, it was more of a
system of tribute than a single entire of
government.

HousesAztec homes in the big cities in what is
now central Mexico ranged from the
complicated homes of the wealthy to
the homes of the poor. Of course, there
was the emperor's palace (actually, he
had more than one home) which covered
an extensive area.

Incas ConnectionTo make it easier to get to and from
their city, the Aztecs built three wide
causeways—raised roads across
water or wet ground—to connect the
island to the Incas.

Jewelry Aztec art was generally owned by the
upper classes, and jewelry was no
exception It was very common for
emperors, for example, to wear
necklaces and earrings. Craftsmen
were no part-time amateurs. They
dedicated their lives to their craft.

Kings / QueensThe Aztec empire was made up of a
series of city-states known as altepetl.
Each altepetl was ruled by a supreme
leader and a supreme judge and
administrator. The tlatoani of the capital
city of Tenochtitlan served as the
Emperor of the Aztec empire.

Learning Aztec children were raised by their
parents with concern that they learned
their authority and basic life skills.
The parents warned against gambling,
theft, gossip and drink. If children did
not behave, they were punished. One
type of punishment was to hold them
over a chili pepper fire where they had
to inhale the spicy smoke.

MedicationThe Aztecs knew of and used an
extensive inventory consisting of
hundreds of different medicinal herbs
and plants.
