The Aztec Empire is long gone, it expired centuries ago, so it is not an empire of any kind, it is just a former empire. And when it existed it was not a military empire in the modern sense of the term; it was ruled by an emperor, not by a general. Of course, it did have military power and did enforce its rule by force. All empires share the characteristics of the military, to some extent.
