    "description": "<p>The empire of the Aztecs with its centre in the high valley of Mexico was characterised by a sophisticated degree of urbanisation and an economy powered by markets and long-distance trade. the capital Tenochtitlan, located on an island in Lake Texcoco, was one of the largest cities in the world with a population of some 200,000 inhabitants during its heyday. This catalogue and the exhibition it accompaniew were created in close corporation with Mexican archaeologists. The contributions approach the Aztech Empire from the periphery and finally lead the reader to the capital. A source-critical introduction is followed by a description of daily life, and continues with the depiction of the city, the palaces and the administration. The centre was the Sacred Precine of Tenochtitlan, where excavations that have been carried out since 1978 and still continue today are constantly providing new insights, not only into the religion and society, but also into the imperial ideology of the Aztecs. The latest results have found their way into this catalogue.</p>",
