# The Eagle in the Sand

The Eagle in the Sand is a novel written by Simon Scarrow, published by Headline Book Publishing in 2006 (and published in the US as The Zealot in 2014). It is the seventh book in the Eagles of the Empire series, starting with Macro and Cato's transfer to the eastern provinces of Rome.

## Summary

Trouble is brewing on the eastern frontier of the Roman Empire. The troops are in deplorable state, while the corrupt behaviour of their senior officers threatens to undermine the army's control of the region. To restore the competence of the men defending a vital fort, two experienced centurions are dispatched to Judea from Rome.
On their arrival Macro and Cato discover that there is an even more serious problem to deal with. Bannus, a local tribesman, is brewing up rebellion amongst the followers of Jehoshua, who was crucified in Jerusalem some seventeen years earlier. Now Bannus is pushing the faction towards violent opposition to Rome.
As the local revolt grows in scale, Rome's long-standing enemy Parthia is poised to invade. Macro and Cato must stamp out corruption in the cohort and restore it to fighting fitness to quash Bannus - before the eastern provinces are lost to the Empire for ever...

# Langbroek

Langbroek is a village in the Dutch province of Utrecht. It is a part of the municipality of Wijk bij Duurstede, and lies about 11 km southeast of Zeist. The village is the merger of Overlangbroek and Nederlangbroek
Until it merged with Wijk bij Duurstede in 1996, Langbroek was a separate municipality.

## History

Langbroek was the result of a cultivation project of the swamp area. Two settlements appeared: Nederlangbroek and Overlangbroek. Overlangbroek was first mentioned in 1219 as Langebruke, and means "long stretched out swamp". Nederlangbroek was first mentioned in 1337 Nederlanghbroech and has neder (lower) to distinguish from over (upper). Overlangbroek was a little agricultural settlement near Castle Zuilenburg where a church was built around 1335. Around 1900, both villages merged into a single build-up area.
There were many castle-like towers in Langbroek. Weerdesteyn is a square tower which dates from around 1300. It was restored and enlarged in 1870 to 1871 and 1875 and 1876.
Hindersteyn started as a square tower in the 14th century. In the 17th century, two wings were added, and in 1876, the western wing was demolished and replaced by a neo-Gothic building. During the 19th century, it was enlarged twice, but returned to the 1865 layout during the restorations in 1976 and 1989.
Lunenburg dated from the 13th century, and was transformed into a manor house at the end of the 18th century. In 1944, it was partially destroyed by bombs and demolished in 1968. Between 1968 and 1970, Lunenberg was restored to its medieval form.
In 1840, Langbroek was home to 1,096 people. In 1978, the postal authorities no longer differentiated between the two villages. It used to be an independent municipality until 1996 when it was merged Wijk bij Duurstede.

# Velora curvifascia

Velora curvifascia is a species of beetle in the family Cerambycidae. It was described by Per Olof Christopher Aurivillius in 1927.
# Peter Stas

Peter Stas (born 1963) is a Dutch entrepreneur and author. In 1988, after he completed his studies in Business Economics at the Erasmus University and worked as Product-Marketing Manager for Royal Philips Electronics, he founded, with his wife Aletta Stas-Bax, the watch company Frédérique Constant. The manufacture's initial strategy was to focus its energy on classical luxury watches at an affordable price. The Accessible Luxury positioning was the basis of strong growth during the financial crisis when consumers came back more to classical values and accessible prices.
Stas played an outspoken role in a conflict with the Swatch Group after it announced a reduction in its provision of watch component parts to third parties. Stas said the proposed cuts would establish an unfair advantage and stifle competition, and not be good for the Swiss watch industry or consumer choice. A legal action to request a freeze before the Federal Administrative Court of Switzerland together with eight independent watch and movement companies to block the 2012 cuts was rejected. After a long standoff, Switzerland's Competition Commission (COMCO) finally ruled that it would not allow the Swatch Group to reduce supplies of assortments (i.e. the regulating organ of a mechanical movement: escape wheel, pallet lever, balance wheel and balance spring) that it sells to Swiss watch brands outside the group.
In 2002, to diversify the Frédérique Constant group, Stas and his wife acquired Alpina Watches, a manufacturer of Swiss sports watches founded in 1883.
In 2009, Stas co-founded Ateliers deMonaco, a high-end watch manufacturer based in Monaco.
In 2013, in collaboration with Aletta Stas, Gisbert L. Brunner and Alexander Linz, Peter Stas wrote the book Live your passion, Building a watch manufacture.
In 2015, Stas played a substantial role in the introduction of the "Horological Smartwatch", a smartwatch design that uses a secondary analog dial rather than a screen for its display – giving the timepiece a more classic look than other such devices. The Horological Smartwatch product line included models for both the Frédérique Constant and Alpina watch brands, and used "MotionX" core technology licensed from the California-based company Fullpower Technologies. It was developed in a joint venture known as Manufacture Modules Technologies (MMT).
In 2016, Aletta and Peter Stas sold their watch brands to Citizen, creating a high-tech collaboration in development of electronic, mechanical and hybrid calibres combining Frederique Constant's high-end Manufacture capability with Citizen's long history in revolutionary solar, radio and ultra-thin calibre innovations.
In 2018, Stas reveals the world's first mechanical smartwatch, the Frederique Constant Hybrid Manufacture that fuses smartwatch technology with a mechanical movement.
Stas is CEO of Frédérique Constant.

# Vera Tiesler

Vera Tiesler is a bioarchaeologist, and a full research professor in the department of Anthroprological Sciences at the Autonomous University of Yucatán in Mexico. She is a specialist in Maya civilization remains.

## Career

Tiesler was born in Germany. In 1985, she completed an honours undergraduate degree in one year, at the age of 19, from the Tulane University in New Orleans, Louisiana. Following her degree, Tiesler spent two weeks in Mexico City before returning to Germany to start medical school. While in Mexico, Tiesler fell in love with a young doctor, who died in 1987. This prompted Tiesler to leave Germany, enroll in the National Polytechnic Institute in Mexico City to complete her medical degree, and later obtain a PhD in anthropology, under the supervision of Manuel Gándara, from the Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM) in 1999. She then became a professor at UNAM in 2000, where she studies ancient skeletons.
Tiesler has been a part of multiple archaeology expeditions, including the 1999-2006 examination of K’inich Janaab’ Pakal of Palenque and his companion, the Red Queen (Tomb of The Red Queen), and the excavation of Ukit Kan Le’k Tok of Ek' Balam. From studying 27 skeletons in a graveyard in La Isabela (the first permanent European town founded by Christopher Columbus on his second voyage), Tiesler found that scurvy played a significant role in the collapse and abandonment of La Isabela within four years. She directed an excavation in the Mexican port city of Campeche, where upon analysis of strontium isotopes in teeth, researchers identified what may be the earliest African Diaspora individuals in the Americas.
Tiesler's publications have been cited over 1,000 times and has an h-index of 22. Her lab has compiled a database of 12,000 burials, where her team has worked on at least 6,000 burials directly.
