Male
Male (symbol: ♂) is the sex of an organism that produces the gamete (sex cell) known as sperm, which fuses with the larger female gamete, or ovum, in the process of fertilization. A male organism cannot reproduce sexually without access to at least one ovum from a female, but some organisms can reproduce both sexually and asexually. Most male mammals, including male humans, have a Y chromosome, which codes for the production of larger amounts of testosterone to develop male reproductive organs. Not all species share a common sex-determination system. In most animals, including humans, sex is determined genetically; however, species such as ''Cymothoa exigua'' change sex depending on the number of females present in the vicinity. In humans, the word ''male'' can also be used to refer to gender in the social sense of gender role or gender identity. Overview The existence of separate sexes has evolved independently at different times and in different lineages, an example ...

Lars Herminius Aquilinus
__NoToC__ Lars Herminius Aquilinus was consul in 448 BC with Titus Verginius Tricostus Caeliomontanus (consul 448). Their year of office was relatively peaceful, as neither consul took sides in the conflict between the patricians and the plebeians. Dionysius of Halicarnassus, ''Romaike Archaiologia'', xi. 51. Lars' filiation, "T. f.", indicates that his father was named ''Titus''. He may have been the son, or perhaps the grandson, of Titus Herminius, one of the heroes of the Republic, who was famous for his stand at the Sublician bridge in 508 BC, and who fell in the Battle of Lake Regillus. The consul's ''praenomen'' is given differently by various authorities. The historian Livius calls him '' Spurius'', while Cassiodorus calls him ''Lucius''. Diodorus Siculus gives "Λαρινος", and Dionysius "Λαρος". These agree with the treatise, ''De Praenominibus'', of uncertain authorship (usually appended to Valerius Maximus), which, however, gives the unusual spelling ''La ...
