| Naming Notes | It was named after a Roman soldier called Arminius. The story behind it is that Arminius was a soldier in the Roman army, even though he had German ideologies, and during one of the wars he destroyed his own army (kind of similar to what the phage does to a bacterium: it incorporates itself into the bacteria, and the destroys its host). |
