Atzaccan

Atzaccan was a fortified place in the Gulf lowlands where the Mexica maintained a garrison. Together with Analco it formed part of the imperial military presence in the wider Tochtepec region, near territories that remained outside direct Mexica rule. In the Codex Mendoza its name is represented by a hand closing a container of water, a pictorial rendering of the Nahuatl elements of the place name.
