Batley at the Dove in Pater-noster-row Source date M.DCC.XXV. [1725] notes The great temple at Tenochtitlan was surmounted by two sanctuaries--the one on the left dedicated to Tlaloc, the one on the right to Huitzilopochtli. Huitzilopochtli, whose name means "Blue hummingbird on the left," was the Aztec god of the sun and war. The turquoise or fire serpent (xiuhcoatl) was his mystical weapon. Tlaloc, the god of rain and agriculture, was of pre-Aztec, or Toltec, origin. A coatepantli or wall made of sculpted serpents often surrounds Aztec temples. The tzompantli would hold the skulls of sacrificial victims. This image is similar to the one printed in Antonio de Solís, Histoire de la conquête du Mexique, Paris, 1691.
