Aztec Symbols

Much of what we now consider to be Aztec in terms of culture, truly relates more broadly to the whole central Mexican region of that time. Aztec culture involved agriculture, with the primary crop being maize. Societies were unequal, with an upper and peasant class. Religion included a pantheon of gods, each of which was responsible and tied to the changing seasons and days set out in the Aztec calendar.
