Tlacateccatl

Tlacateccatl

In the Aztec military, tlacateccatl (pronounced|tɬaːkaˈteːkkatɬ) was a title roughly equivalent to general. The tlacateccatl was in charge of the "tlacatecco", a military quarter in the center of the Aztec capital, Tenochtitlan. In wartime he was second-in-command to the "tlatoani" ("ruler", "king") and the "tlacochcalcatl" ("high general"). The tlacateccatl was always a member of the military order of the "Cuachicqueh", "the shorn ones".
