This is a sample of the modeling work of a merchant or Pochteca, who were the main traders, importers and exporters of goods in the Aztec Empire.
Although the term Pochteca is used to refer to any merchant, for the ancient Pochtecas this profession was divided into four classifications:
The Tlachiuhqui: They were producers who manufactured everything they sold. This work was carried out across the entire Aztec territory.
The Tlanamacac: They were dedicated to buying and selling.
The Tlanecuilos: They were retailers, and those who obtained the most profits from commerce.
The Oztomecatl: They were importers, who usually traveled and carried out important expeditions to the corners of the empire.
The Pochtecas will be the vendors that will sell you weapons, accessories and medicinal plants, and they will help you create your own items.
