Military Tuesday : Aztec Warrior Suits
A rather detailed look into Aztec warrior suits and their social significance complete with pictorial impressions. While intended for wargaming use, this little PDF does make a very interesting and enlightening read about Aztec warriors.
Prowess and status in the Aztec armies were defined by the number and status of captives acquired by each warrior with each level of warriors being attired accordingly.
The elaborate and colourful feather suits often associated with Aztec armies were worn only by warriors of the nobility as well as those of priestly classes. Apparently these suits were more symbols of status rather than for any other practical purpose since they afforded little additional protection over the cotton armour worn by noble warriors of lower rank.
